Spying for Wellington by Huw J Davies

Spying for Wellington by Huw J Davies

Intelligence is often the critical factor in a successful military campaign. This was certainly the case for the Duke of Wellington in the Peninsular War. Huw Davies offers the first full account of the scope, complexity, and importance of Wellington's intelligence department, describing a highly organised, multifaceted network of agents and spies.

Spying for Wellington is a triumph of research, analysis, and writing and will be the standard work on the subject for decadesOf all the literature that has been devoted to the Napoleonic wars, nothing comes close to this monumental contribution to the field."" - Michael V. Leggiere, author of Blücher: Scourge of Napoleon

""Spying for Wellington is a keystone reinterpretation of the British army of the Napoleonic Wars. It shines new light on a crucial and yet largely overlooked aspect of warfare: intelligence collection and application."" - Alexander Mikaberidze, author of The Burning of Moscow: Napoleon's Trial by Fire 1812
