Peninsula Years, The: Britain's Red Coats in Spain and Portugal by D S Richards
The Peninsular Campaign was conducted over terrain ranging from the sun scorched plains of Andalusia to the picturesque snow covered passes of the Pyrenees. Drawing on the experiences and observations of fifty-six officers and men who fought during the years 1808 to 1814, The Peninsula Years is a thrilling and fast moving narrative of the bloody campaigns in the Iberian Peninsula, as well as showing insight into the every day hardships common to the ordinary British redcoat.
Makes extensive use of the graphic personal accounts of men, from private soldier to senior officerImmediate and vivid campaigning history from the Peninsula War.
Born in 1922, Donald Richards served with the RAF as a navigator during the Second World War. Previously published works include The Peninsula Veterans (MacDonald and Janes 1975) and The Savage Frontier (Macmillan 1990). He lives at Charlton, London SE7.
