The Portuguese Army of the Napoleonic Wars (1) (häftad, eng)

Osprey are confident in boasting that this remarkable three-part study will transform the research material available to the English-speaking student of the Peninsular War (1808-1814). Most know that Wellington''s Portuguese troops were praised as the ''fighting cocks'' of his army; fewer appreciate that they represented between half and one-third of his entire forces.

Similarly, most uniform historians have been limited to a few half-understood paintings by Dighton, and brief notes from secondary sources. René Chartrand''s recent primary research in Portuguese and British archives now offers a wealth of important new material. An excellent book - groundbreaking in its originality.
