NARRATIVE OF THE PENINSULAR CAMPAIGN 1807 -1814 ITS BATTLES AND SIEGES

The expanded title of this book as printed on the title page is A Narrative of the Peninsular Campaign 1807-1814 Its Battles and Sieges Abridged from the History of the War in the Peninsular by Lieut General Sir W.F.P.Napier KCB. This says it all. William Napier was the brother of the militarily more famous General Sir Charles who made his reputation in India and is probably best known for his conquest of the province of Scinde. William who like his brother did well in the Peninsular War made his name as the author of the six-volume history War in the Peninsula and this is Dobsons abridged version.
