Wellington's Eastern Front

"Nick Lipscombe, a recognized expert in military history, fills a gap and provides a nine on this forgotten war." ~Gloire & Empire, No. 72

"The author behind the title is an established authority on the Peninsular War and a gifted battlefield guide... Not to be missed by students of the Peninsular War." ~Soldiers

"You will find a comprehensive book on operations on the Valencia, Girona, Zaragoza and Saguntum, during the Spanish campaign, with maps and orders of precise battle in annex." ~Vae Victis

"This is an important volume for students of the Peninsular War, bringing to readers a clear understanding of a heretofore largely neglected section of that conflict." ~Gunner Magazine

"The book describes in graphic detail the battles fought by the French army of General Suchet against the Spanish regulars and guerrillas... Mr. Lipscombe is a leading historian on the Peninsular War and Napoleonic Wars." ~Regency Explorer

"If there was ever a moment that Wellington was thrown into despair in the course of the Peninsular War, it was when the French captured the eastern city of Valencia on 8 January 1812. In this much needed addition to the literature, Nick Lipscombe has given chapter and verse as to why a front that has generally been overlooked was actually crucial to the outcome of the struggle. Highly recommended." ~Professor Charles Esdaile

"Although arguably the struggle on Spain’s eastern front is often overlooked as not being integral to the Duke of Wellington’s main army and their campaigns in Portugal and western Spain, the author of this very readable new book argues that they were in fact intrinsically linked." ~Stuart Asquith, author
