Book Synopsis Wellington's Worst Scrape by : Carole Divall
Download or read book Wellington's Worst Scrape written by Carole Divall and published by Pen and Sword. This book was released on 2013-01-19 with total page 397 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The disastrous retreat and near disintegration of Sir John Moores army on the road to Corunna in 1809 is traditionally regarded as the low point in the history of the British intervention in the Peninsular War. Yet under the Duke of Wellington, the British and their allies suffered defeats and retreats that tend to be overshadowed by the series of victories that eventually drove the French from Portugal and Spain. None of these setbacks was graver than the retreat that followed the disastrous failure of the siege of Burgos in 1812. It is this, less than glorious, phase of the Peninsular campaign that is the subject of Carole Divalls latest study of the British army of the Napoleonic Wars.By reconstructing events in close detail, and by bringing together [many] primary sources, she gives a vivid account of what happened and why. Wellington himself recognized the mistakes and miscalculations that led to the potentially catastrophic situation in which he placed his men. He described it as his worst scrape. Yet most of the letters, journals and memoirs that have survived praise the skill with which he saved Britain's only army from disaster. Carole Divall weaves together Wellingtons dispatches with the eyewitness testimony left by British and Portuguese officers and men, by civilians, and by the French. A fascinating, multi-layered impression emerges of the siege of Burgos itself and the sequence of maneuvers that preceded it. She describes in authentic detail the tense decision-making and the misjudgments that were made on the allied side and the headlong retreat that followed as the British fled from two French armies that threatened to trap and destroy them.Carole Divalls in-depth study of a pivotal and neglected episode in the Peninsular War gives a fascinating insight into the character of the fighting, at every level, and into the strengths and weaknesses of Wellingtons command.

Download or read book A History of the Peninsular War, Vol. 6 written by Charles Oman and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2017-07-26 with total page 828 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from A History of the Peninsular War, Vol. 6: September 1, 1812-August 5, 1813; The Siege of Burgos; The Retreat From Burgos; The Campaign of Vittoria; The Battles of the Pyrenees As to other sources now first utilized in print, I have to thank Mr. W. S. D'urban of Newport House for the loan of the diary of his ancestor Sir Benjamin d'urban most valuable for the Burgos retreat, especially for the operations of Hill's column. Another diary and corre spondence, which was all-important for my last volume runs dry as a source after the first months of 1813. These were the papers of Sir George Scovell, Welling ton's cypher-secretary, from which so many quotations may be found in volume V. But after he left Head quarters and took charge of the newly formed Military Police Staff Corps Cavalry in the spring before Vittoria, he lost touch with the lines of information on which he had hitherto been so valuable. I owe the very useful reports of the Spanish Fourth Army, and the Marching Orders of General Giron, to the kindness of Colonel Juan Arzadun, who caused them to be typed and sent to me from Madrid. By their aid I was able to fill up all the daily etapes of the Galician corps, and to throw some new light on its operations in Biscay.
