Book
Review:
Military Dress of the Peninsular War
By Martin Widrow and Gerry Embleton
One
of the most extraordinary books on the Napoleonic Era focuses
on the Peninsular War in Spain
and Portugal between 1808 and 1814.
Military
Dress of the Peninsular War: 1808 to 1814 is a must-have for
anyone interested in Britain's major input into the fight against
Napoleon Bonaparte.
This
square, 200-page volume is a contain-all of the most necessary
pieces of information about "the Spanish Ulcer."
There
are 19 colour plates of dozens of uniforms and regiments, with
masses of detail on individual units and styles, scores of black-and-white
images, and a very detailed history of the Peninsular campaign.
A
terrific addition to any buff's library.
