THE SPANISH ULCER – A History of the Peninsular War. Gates, David.Norton, HBdj 6 1/2 x 9 1/2, 557 pages, illus, maps -By July 1807, following his spectacular victories over Austria, Prussia and Russia, Napoleon dominated most of Europe. The only significant gap in his continental system, a blockade of British goods designed to bring his arch-enemy to her knees, was the Iberian Peninsula. He therefore begun a series of diplomatic and military moves aimed at forcing both Spain and Portugal to toe the line, leading to a popular uprising against the French and the outbreak of war in May 1808.Napoleon considered the war in the Peninsula so insignificant that he rarely bothered to bring to it his military genius, relying on his marshals instead, and simultaneously launching his disastrous Russian campaign of 1812. Yet the war was to end with total defeat for the French. In late 1813 Wellington’s army crossed the Pyrenees into the mainland of France. The ‘Spanish Ulcer’ had helped to kill its host.This is the first major military history of the war for half a century, by an historian steeped in the subject. Combining scholarship with a vivid narrative, it reveals a war of unexpected savagery, of carnage at times so great as to be comparable to the First World War. But it was also a guerrilla war, fought on beautiful but difficult terrain, where problems of supply loomed large. The British Navy, dominant at sea after Trafalgar, was able to provide crucial support to the hard-pressed, ill-equipped and often outnumbered forces fighting the French.Previous histories have tended to be written with a distorting jingoistic bias, and Dr Gates’ can claim to be the first to provide a serious assessment of the opposing generals and their troops, as well as analyzing in detail the social and political background. The Peninsular war is particularly rich in varied and remarkable campaigns, and his book will fascinate all those who enjoy reading military history. Fully illustrated with over 100 maps and nearly 50 contemporary illustrations, it will appeal both to the buff and the newcomer to the subject alike********************************************************************* THANK YOU FOR SHOPPING WITH US – WE VERY MUCH APPRECIATE YOUR BUSINESS.
