THE PENINSULAR WAR ATLAS

Della Osprey Publishing questo moderno ed originario atlante delle guerre peninsulari, pubblicato in occasione del bicentenario della guerra di La Albera, la più sanguinosa di tutte le guerre napoleoniche e ora ristampato con l’aggiunta di nuove mappe non presenti nella prima edizione. Oltre 160 mappe corredate da un testo narrativo, ben documentato con analisi accurate e anche la rivalutazione di alcune battaglie.

The Peninsular War saw some of the bloodiest fighting of the Napoleonic Wars. Despite the exposure given to this theatre the soldiers who fought there have received little public recognition. As the bicentennial commemorations of this war draw to a climax in 2014, this magnificent book has been re-released in a revised edition including five new maps giving a comprehensive view of all the combatant’s battles. The mapping by the author is of very high standard, and he has re-evaluated several battles in collaboration with Spanish authorities, and academics, and presents new interpretations of the sources.
