Zustand: New. 2009 N&M Press reprint (original pub 1812). SB. xii+276 pp + MapPublished Price £14.50 Published in 1812, this is an extremely early account of the Peninsular War by Capt. William Stothert, an infantry adjutant with the Third Foot Guards, who was later killed at the Battle of Waterloo. Published in the form of letters written home to the author's family, Stothert's narrative relates his entire experiences of the war, from leaving Portsmouth in 1809, to his return three years later. In between he witnesses the assumption of command by Wellington (then Sir Arthur Wellesley); the campaigns in north Portugal; the battle of Talavera; the siege and storming of Ciudad Roderigo; the battle of Busaco; the retreat to the lines of Torres Vedras; the battle of Fuentes d'Onoro; the battle of Albuera; and the siege of Badajoz. Stothert does not hold back in his denunciations of French barbarities against the Spanish civilian population; but he is equally unsparing of praise for the enemy's bravery in battle. A rare and valuable insight into a savage war. Book.…

Buch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - The Correspondence of a Scottish officer in Spain and Portugal Accounts of the activities of the Third Foot Guards of the British Army ( later the The Scots Guards) during the wars against Napoleonic France are quite rare, so these letters by one of its serving officers,William Stothert- though comparatively small-are invaluable and an essential component of any library of the conflict from a British perspective. This was a very early published account of the war (1812) comprised of letters to the author's family. His experiences begin in 1809 and cover the ensuing three years. Several engagements are referenced including Talavera, Ciudad Rodrigo, Busaco, the retreat to the Lines at Torres Vedras, Fuentes d'Onoro, Albuera and Badajoz. Captain Stothert ( Brigade- Major of the 2nd Brigade of Guards) survived the campaign in the Iberian peninsula, but was, of course, once more called to action during the Hundred Days Campaign of 1815 and was killed serving with his regiment at the Battle of Waterloo. Stothert gives particular attention to the Battle of Talavera in his correspondence so this Leonaur edition contains Maxwell's account of that engagement. This book contains illustrations and maps that did not accompany the original edition.…
