This is a very useful book. The shear scale of the project is impressive, as is the author’s decision to devote large amounts of space to the Spanish war effort and to less familiar campaigns.

A magnificent OVERSIZED & slip-cased 400 page FULL COLOUR revised edition that includes illustrations of 164 original maps.

The Peninsular War is one of the defining campaigns of the British Army and sealed its reputation for supreme professionalism, heroic obstinacy and sheer perseverance. It made the reputation of Arthur Wellesley, the Duke of Wellington. The British Army, under Sir John Moore and Wellington, ranged across the plains and mountains of Portugal and Spain and into France, taking part in 15 field actions and four bloody sieges, including Salamanca, Vitoria and Badajoz, but this is only part of the picture. The contribution of the Spanish and Portuguese forces is frequently overlooked, but there were a further 25 field actions and 15 sieges in the Iberian peninsula as part of the savage duel between the French occupiers and native inhabitants. In this newly revised edition of The Peninsular War Atlas, Colonel Nick Lipscombe expands upon his comprehensive, non-partisan examination of the conflict with 164 original maps, accompanied by an authoritative text narrating the war. The maps are well produced, with just the right level of detail. The terrain is clearly portrayed, with contour lines, detailed routes of roads and watercourses and excellent city and fortification plans. The course of events is easy to follow, and the maps are well matched to the text. There is a mix of battlefield maps and overview maps that show all of Spain or the area of a large campaign. One of the biggest strengths of the book is the amount of space give to the Spanish contribution to the war.

It subsequently served with 8th Division after the 50th was reorganised in mid -1918. The title ‘fighting pioneers’ refers to the fact that despite its role as a unit that provided manual labour for front line work, it certainly played its part in fighting. The loss of 600 dead and many more wounded through the years of the war are testimony to it.

He would win many battles in his future campaigns, but never again would one of Europe’s great powers lie broken at his feet. In this respect 1809 represents a high point of the First Empire yet at the same time Napoleon’s armies were declining in quality and he was beginning to display the corrosive flaws that contributed to his downfall five years later.

This is the complete 3 volume set of this magnificent “Magnum opus” from the author John H Gill, that was published by Frontline Books to great critical acclaim; even the more grouchy Napoleonic critics approved! When released they were a shade over £50 for the set. We are offering the 3 volumes at a not to be repeated £18.99 Order No – 3­volume Thunder on the Danube set: 27854

“Sheds new light on well-known stages in the battle...he has covered more than just an epochal battle in a magnificent book that will satisfy the most avid enthusiasts of Napoleonic era” — Foundation Napoleon

“Very impressive piece of work and is unlikely to be surpassed ...one of the best examples of traditional Military History you will find, and will be a value to an academic audience and of great interest to a more general audience. A very impressive achievement and a very valuable guide to Napoleon's last victory.ʺ— History of War Volume 1 Softback 512 pages with Maps and illustrations In this first volume Gill tackles the political background to the war and the opening battles of Abensberg, Eggmuhl and Regensberg. He explores the motivations that prompted to launch an offensive against France while Napoleon and many of his veterans were distracted in Spain. Though surprised by the timing of the Austrian attack on the 10th April, the French Emperor completely reversed a dire strategic situation with stunning blows that he called his ʹmost brilliant and most skilful manoeuvres’. Following a breathless pursuit down the Danube valley, Napoleon occupied the palaces of the Habsburgs for the second time in four years. Basing his work on years of primary research and battlefield visits, Gill provides a thorough analysis replete with spectacular combat, diplomatic intrigue and the illustrious cast of characters that populated this extraordinary age. The concluding volumes Napoleon speaks to Bavarian troops, Abensberg 1809. will take the war to its conclusion, including Napoleon’s first unequivocal repulse at the Battle of Espern­Essling, the titanic Battle of Wagram and the neglected struggle at Znaim that led to armistice.

Volume II: The Fall of Vienna and the Battle of Aspern Softback 464 pages with Maps and illustrations In the second volume of this epic work, John H. Gill traces Napoleon’s progress as he sought to complete his victory over the Habsburgs. The war had erupted on April 10th with Austriaʹs invasion of Germany and Italy. After just two weeks, Napoleon had battered the Habsburg Archduke Charles in a series of bruising defeats. This volume begins with Napoleon astride the Danube at Regensburg. He faced a critical strategic choice – whether to pursue the injured Austrian main army into Bohemia or march directly for Vienna, the seat of Habsburg power. After electing to target Vienna, his troops defeated the Austrians in the brutal Battle of Ebelsberg, allowing him to enter the city on May 13th. However on the far side of the Danube, he then suffered a dramatic loss at the gruelling, two­day Battle of Aspern. While his Danube forces recovered from this setback, the Emperor cleared trouble from his strategic flanks. Gill describes in vivid detail the hopeful Habsburg invasion of Italy, led by the 27­year­old Archduke Johann, and the fierce French counter­offensive under The Battle of Aspern-Essling, May 1809. Napoleonʹs stepson, Eugene de Beauharnais (also aged 27). In a series of encounters across Italy, de Beauharnais rebounded from initial defeat to advance triumphantly into Austrian territory, shattering and scattering Johann’s army. In the wake of Aspern, while the Austrians vacillated, Napoleon gathered every man, horse and gun around Vienna, setting the stage for the gigantic spectacle of the Battle of Wagram, the final chapter in the story of the 1809 war.

Volume III: Wagram and Znaim Softback 576 pages with Maps and illustrations With this third volume John Gill brings to a close his magisterial study of the war between Napoleonic France and Habsburg Austria. The account begins with both armies recuperating on the banks of the Danube. As they rest, important action was taking place elsewhere: Eugene won a crucial victory over Johann on the anniversary of Marengo, Prince Poniatowski’s Poles outflanked another Austrian archduke along the Vistula, and Marmont drove an Austrian force out of Dalmatia to join Napoleon at Vienna. These campaigns set the stage for the titanic Battle of Wagram. Second only in scale to the slaughter at Leipzig in 1813, Wagram saw more than 320,000 men and 900 guns locked in two days of fury that ended with an Austrian retreat. The defeat, however, was not complete: Napoleon had to force another engagement before Charles would accept a ceasefire. The battle at Znaim, its true importance often not acknowledged, brought an extended armistice that ended with a peace treaty signed in Vienna. Gill uses an impressive array of sources in an engaging narrative covering both the politics of emperors and the privations Napoleon following the smokeline of Davout's columns, and hardship common soldiers suffered in battle. Enriched with unique French offensive at Wagram. illustrations, forty maps, and extraordinary order­of­battle detail, this work concludes an unrivalled English­language study of Napoleon’s last victory.

“The text is well-written and entertaining, the maps are generally excellent, portraits of many of the commanders are provided, and there are extensive OOBs for Wagram and Znaim. This is an example of how history should be written.

Questions were raised in Parliament (twenty-two times) yet still no official report was produced, due to objections from Admiral Beatty. This led to Admiral Bacon producing his own account of the battle, called The Jutland Scandal in 1925.

Together, these two books lay bare the facts about Jutland and reveal the failings of senior officers and the distortions of the early historians.

The more ofabout us are British ever medalslikely to than know most mastermind behind this is none other than the man who was the most respected name in medal dealing for over 50 years, the late John B. Hayward, who’s magnificent photographic archive has at long last been made good use of in this publication. Even the most ardent medal collector cannot This tome hands down to everyone interested fail to be enlightened in medals a real legacy reference work by this work

This is the best and latest edition of the classic (GORDON’S) BRITISH BATTLES AND MEDALS, a book that is long established as the standard work of reference on British campaign medals. This is the fully revised edition, with a wealth of new material, that puts previous editions into the shade. Collectors the world over who are familiar with the previous editions of Major Gordon’s much loved work will be pleased to note that the basic, chronological, format of the original 1947 edition, has been retained. Though greatly enlarged and revised over the last nearly 60 years, this sensible format has stood the test of time and has been the model for all subsequent general books on medals. The 7th 2008 edition has not only taken the campaign medal section up to date, but also added more numismatic information, especially for the earliest awards. Lists and numbers of Ships, Regiments and Units present have been revised where necessary, including the addition of many so­called ‘odd men’. There is more information, as well as new illustrations, on the various styles of naming, both official and contemporary unofficial styles, and clasps. The numerous appendices have, for the first time, gathered together in the most accessible form a wealth of reference material, including lists and rolls covering some of the most celebrated actions of British Naval and Military history. Among these are to be found complete lists of recipients of Navy and Army Gold Medals and Army Gold Crosses, recipients of the various British and foreign awards for the Crimea War, and nominal rolls such actions as the Charge of the Light Brigade, the Defence of Lucknow, the famous actions at Rorke’s Drift and Maiwand, the last charge of a British cavalry Regiment at Omdurman, the Defence of Legations at Pekin in 1900, and those involved in the Yangtze incident of 1949.

The final, and very best by a mile – 7th edition of Major Lawrence Gordon’s evergreen reference book, fully revised, expanded and honed to perfection by the late John Hayward and Diana Birch.
