The Portuguese Army of the Napoleonic Wars (3) the Portuguese Army of the Napoleonic Wars (3)
ISBN: 9781841761572 / Angielski / Miękka / 48 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. This remarkable three-part study will transform the research material available to the English-speaking student of the Peninsular War (1808-1814). Most know that Wellington's Portuguese troops were praised as the 'fighting cocks' of his army; fewer appreciate that they represented between half and one-third of his entire forces. Similarly, most uniform historians have been limited to a few half-understood paintings by Dighton, and brief notes from secondary sources. Rene Chartrand's recent primary research in Portuguese and British archives now offers a wealth of new material. This third...

Spanish Guerrilla in the Peninsula War 1808-14
ISBN: 9781841766294 / Angielski / Miękka / 64 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych.

This book brings to life, for the first time, the formation, tactics and experiences of the Spanish guerrilla forces that fought Napoleon's army during the Peninsular War (1808-1814). Using much previously unpublished...

In 1818, the revolutionary government of Chile was poised to attack Peru, the last bastion of Spanish power on the continent. The new ruler, the half-Irish Bernardo O'Higgins, threw his energies into creating a navy.

Osprey's examination of the last major Republican offensive of the Spanish Civil War (1936-1939).

The...
