Unusual views of the Peninsular-and the Waterloo campaign Those readers for whom an eyewitness account by a British soldier of great struggle between Napoleon's Imperial France and the Allied powers is enough of an accolade and a guarantee of interesting reading will find nothing to disappoint them in the pages of Hope's excellent account. It is written in an easy going, companionable style that invites the reader into every aspect of life on campaign, in camp and on the battlefield in company with the author and the Scots of his famous highland regiment. Hope takes us through the Peninsular War and of course, momentously, to the muddy and bloody fields of Belgium as the Emperor played his last desperate card to retain power in 1815. Whilst all military first hand accounts are invaluable, Hope's peninsula experiences are particularly interesting. His regiment came under the command of Sir Rowland Hill, one of Wellington's most highly regarded generals and one of the few to whom he was prepared to entrust separate command, so the reader will be taken to fields of battle and locations within campaign often absent from many Peninsular War accounts. Available in soft cover and hard back with dust jacket.
