This book was released on 2013-02-18 with total page 299 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book forms part of General Beatson’s trilogy dealing with the campaigns in and around the Pyrenees during late 1813 and 1814 and they are rightly acknowledged as the standard works on these campaigns. This volume deals with the Allied armies’ struggle to gain a foothold in France itself in the late summer months of 1813. Following the repulse of the last French offensive in 1813, Wellington began to take the fight into France; what faced him and his men was an unenviable position to attack: in the east stood the formidable Pyrenees mountains, bristling with redoubts and French troops; in the west, the difficult tidal estuaries. It would be a tough nut to crack, but Wellington’s army was experienced, blooded and the momentum that had carried them forward all the way from the borders of Portugal should be enough. On the French side, Marshal Soult had problems aplenty of his own, he was ordered to stage his defence as close to the Spanish border as possible and the troops themselves were outnumbered by the Allied army. He chose to defend the mountain passes that he had used to attack the Allies earlier in the year with the bulk of his men, relying on the difficulty of a river crossing to ensure his safety to the West. Wellington prepared meticulously for his assault, opted for the element of surprise by deciding to assault across the Bidassoa estuary. Sending troops to hold the attention of the French inland, his rugged peninsular veterans cross the Bidassoa with ease pushed on into France. It was to be the second time Soult was levered from a river line by Wellington and, as illustrated by this masterful piece of generalship and co-ordinated planning, it would not be the last before Napoleon was to abdicate.

Book excerpt: As Napoleon's French Army retreated, all hope that it could maintain a hold over the Iberian Peninsula began to fade. By September of 1813 the Allied Army commanded by the 'captain of the age'-the Duke of Wellington-stood on the frontier of France within the area of the estuary of the Bidassoa. Napoleon was being pressed on two fronts, but he still had a large reserve of veteran troops stationed in the south of France to call upon. The time had come to tighten the grip on France. Wellington would now invade it, engage the southern army which it was hoped would spur the Coalition of northern European powers to greater endeavours to bring about its defeat. No longer now an expanding empire, the French were faced with the defence of their own homeland and Wellington was poised for a campaign which would bring a large and prosperous region of it under allied control. It would be a contest bitterly fought as only those with desperate stakes can be. In this, the second of Beatson's series on the fall of Revolutionary France published by Leonaur, the reader is once again taken into the centre of Wellington's strategic and tactical genius. Every action is described in detail and complemented by the voices of the soldiers who experienced those momentous times.

Download or read book With Wellington in the Pyrenees: Being an Account of the Operations Between the Allied Army and the French from July 25 to August 2 1813 written by F. C. Beatson and published by Naval & Military Press. This book was released on 2020-06-05 with total page 370 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book forms part of General Beatson's trilogy dealing with the campaigns in and around the Pyrenees during late 1813 and 1814. The campaign in south-west France in late 1813 and early 1814 was the final campaign of the Peninsular War. An allied army of British, Portuguese and Spanish soldiers under the command of Wellington fought a string of battles against French forces under the command of the able Soult, from the Iberian Peninsula across the Pyrenees and into south-west France ending with the capture of Toulouse and the besieging of Bayonne. They are rightly acknowledged as the standard works on these campaigns and provide an insight into the later, often ignored stages of the Peninsular War. The other two volumes The Bidassoa and Nivelle and The Crossing of the Gaves & the Battle of Orthez have also been republished by the Naval & Military Press.

Download or read book In the Words of Wellington's Fighting Cocks written by Moisés Gaudêncio and published by Pen and Sword Military. This book was released on 2021-12-22 with total page 361 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The literature of the Peninsular War is rich with vivid source material – letters, diaries, memoirs, and dispatches – but most of it was written by British soldiers or by the French and their allies. As a result the history and experience of the Portuguese forces – which by 1812 composed close to half of Wellington’s Army – have been seriously under-represented. That is why this pioneering book, which publishes for the first time in English the after-action reports written by the commanders of Portuguese battalions, regiments and brigades, is so important. For these detailed, graphic firsthand accounts give us a fascinating insight into the vital contribution the Portuguese made to the allied army and shed new light on the struggle against the French in the Iberian Peninsula. The authors provide an introduction tracing the history of the Portuguese Army prior to the Salamanca campaign of 1812, while tracking its organizational changes and assignment of commanders from 1808 to 1814. They include detailed notes on the after-action reports which set them in the context of each stage of the conflict.

This book was released on 2023-02-16 with total page 282 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Light Division is rightly regarded as the most famous force within Wellington’s army in the Peninsular War. Often the first into every battle and the last to withdraw, the men of the Light Division were trained to act independently and think for themselves as well as operating in their battalion formations. The regiments which comprised the Light Division were present at almost every battle, large or small, throughout the Peninsular War. Many people, however, associate the Light Division with the men of the 95th Rifles, wearing in the distinctive green uniforms made famous in the Sharpe novels. What is less understood is that the majority of the Light Division actually consisted of troops dressed in the traditional red uniforms. These were men who, although equally capable of skirmishing as light infantry, actually spent the vast majority of their time formed as regular infantry, fighting in line, column or square. The 95th Rifles has literally a dozen or more memorialists including many famous ones such as Kincaid, Harry Smith, Harris, Costello, Leach, Simmons and others, who have been published and republished countless times. But the 52nd Foot – the first of the regiments of the Light Division to be trained as light infantry – has, until now, been largely unrepresented. After decades of research, Gareth Glover has unearthed a collection of short memoirs from soldiers of the 52nd (Oxfordshire) Regiment which have never been published before and one previously published, but now virtually unobtainable. This collection will undoubtedly add an essential element to our understanding of the role of the Light Division both in battle and on campaign.
