Product Information
The British campaign in the Low Countries in 1813-14 in support of the Dutch revolt against the French is one of the lesser-known campaigns of the Napoleonic Wars, but one which the great historian of the British Army Sir John Fortescue wrote that it was impossible to understand the Waterloo campaign without a knowledge of. The book deals with all aspects of the campaign, from grand strategy, with the proposed marriage alliance between the House of Orange and the House of Hanover, to tactical analysis of the battles and sieges that took place, including the disastrous attack on Bergen-op-Zoom, where heroic British soldiers paid with their lives for their commanders' failures. The problems of co-operation between the British and Prussians described here foreshadowed those which would affect Wellington in 1815. Illustrated with contemporary portraits, plans of the fortifications of Bergen and eight maps. AUTHOR: Andrew Bamford holds a PhD in Military History from the University of Leeds and now works as a freelance historian and writer. As well as extensive magazine work, he is also author of the forthcoming Sickness, Suffering and the Sword. 16 plates and 8 mapsProduct Identifiers

Excellent narrative for all - research from Top to Bottom.
The read book reads well for historian or not. There is a level of detail concerning units however not to the point to lose the story. The information is derived from personal accounts and official. Maps: mentioned as a concern often in reviews. Thee are maps, the maps are useful. The main attack on Berg oop Zoom is very exciting to read. As well: not only as Bamford write a companion book of personal accounts this book reads very after reading: THEY FOUGHT WITH EXTRAORDINARY BRAVERY The III German (Saxon) Army Corps in the Southern Netherlands 1814 From Reason to Revolution 1721-1815 #47 By: Geert van Uythoven If a reader wishes a big picture or a complete picture ( as can be ) of the Napoleonic period 1813 - 1814, these two books help fill in the picture. I recommend: Russia Against Napoleon by Dominic Levien. ( from 1812 - 1814 ) Napoleon and Berlin by Michael Leggiere ( Will include some of the same figures such as Bulow, Bernadotte ) Napoleon 1814 : The Defence of France by Andrew Uffindell The Spanish Ulcer by David Gates. I suppose some info concerning Italy.Bestätigter Kauf: JaArtikelzustand: Gebraucht
