part of ospreys essential histories series. This covers the campaign in Spain and Portugal. Like most English sources more than half of the space is taken up with a discussion of Wellington's campaigns. There is some material on the guerrillas and the French. I would've preferred a little more from the French perspective. There is a short biography of an English soldier and George Canning who was Foreign Secretary. There is a chapter on Spanish art.As typical with Osprey titles there are illustrations, maps and diagrams on just about every page. There's a decent enough further reading section not surprisingly it contains entries for every relevant Osprey title. It does have others as well.
Recommended if you needed an introduction or a refresher.
