In the Words of Wellington’s Fighting Cocks: The After-action Reports of the Portuguese Army during the Peninsular War by Moisés Gaudêncio (Moises Gaudencio), Robert Burnham
Requirements: .ePUB reader, 24 MB
Overview: The literature of the Peninsular War is rich with vivid source material – letters, diaries, memoirs, and dispatches – but most of it was written by British soldiers or by the French and their allies. As a result the history and experience of the Portuguese forces – which by 1812 composed close to half of Wellington’s Army – have been seriously under-represented. That is why this pioneering book, which publishes for the first time in English the after-action reports written by the commanders of Portuguese battalions, regiments and brigades, is so important. For these detailed, graphic firsthand accounts give us a fascinating insight into the vital contribution the Portuguese made to the allied army and shed new light on the struggle against the French in the Iberian Peninsula.
