G.A. Henty had a knack for condensing the complex issues of a war
into a single book, but even he realized that the scope of the
Peninsular War was so extensive, that a single book would not do it
justice. Therefore, it is only natural that Henty's two books on
the subject, With Moore at Corunna & Under Wellington's
Command, be combined into a single volume. The Peninsular War was
one of the more colorful and involved wars ever fought, filled with
many battles, sieges, colorful characters, and back-and-forth
action. The French invaded Spain and then set their sights on
Portugal. Responding to the provocation, the British sent Sir John
Moore to thwart Napoleon's ambitions. Experience the Peninsular War

Portuguese unit attached to the British army. This tale is a
wonderful mix of adventure and history that makes excellent reading
