Corunna by Christopher Hibbert

Corunna by Christopher Hibbert

The Battle of Corunna, which was fought on 16 January 1809, saved a British army from annihilation but resulted in the tragic death of a fine general - Sir John Moore. With the aid of surviving eye-witness accounts the author provides a horrifying picture of the hardships and suffering of this bitter campaign. 'Fast-flowing, taut and economical...the pithy thumb-nail sketches are masterly, the account of the battle superb' Times Literary Supplement 'Told with passion and clarity...a compelling book; the main lines of the campaign are clear and the incidents vividly memorable' Sunday Telegraph
