Intelligence was just as important in the Napoleonic Wars as it is
today. Then there was only one way of obtaining it by spies and
informers. The Author uses first hand accounts of three of
Wellingtons most daring and successful Intelligence Officers. The
three men, all of Scottish descent, were very different in
character. One was killed in action and another taken prisoner and
after narrowly avoiding summary execution made a dramatic escape.
There is a romantic angle too. Their stories skilfully interwoven
against the backdrop of the brutal Peninsula War where atrocities
were common place. This book gives a fresh insight into Wellingtons
remarkable triumph over Napoleons armies.
