The War in the Peninsula: Some Letters of a Lancashire Officer: The Spellmount Library of Military History - Softcover
Synopsis
Lieutenant Knowles served in the 7th (Royal) Fusiliers 1811-1813, seeing action in several battles, being wounded at the storming of Badajoz and at the battle of Salamanca. He was killed at Roncesvalles on 25 July 1813 during the Battle of the Pyrenees.
By combining the overall picture as painted by Lt Knowles with the specific, bloody narrative of the storming of the Castle by Captain MacCarthy in one volume, this work is not only fantastic value for money but also offers the discerning reader a whole new perspective on the campaign. What did these two men – of different temperaments – make of events? Wellington had watched helplessly at Badajos as the flower of his army was smashed against the ramparts of Badajos: the 4th and Light Divisions attacked no less than 40 times. When they finally succeeded, an orgy of rape, pillage and destruction followed that even the Iron Duke could not quell. What did both men have to say about this? Both of these rare classics are essential reading for students of the period

About the Author
ROBERT KNOWLES, initially a geophysicist by training, moved into theology, feeling called by God to become involved in Christian ministry. He has worked with the Navigators in London and Swansea and has had links to Cymru Institute for Contemporary Christianity, an offshoot of London Institute for Contemporary Christianity, and to Central Eurasian Partners, an Eastern European group of mission initiatives. He obtained his doctorate in theology at Cardiff University in 2006, and has since written the successful "Anthony C. Thiselton and the Grammar of Hermeneutics" (Paternoster, 2012).
Synopsis
This is a facsimile of the letters of Lieutenant Robert Knowles who served in the Peninsula from 1811-1813 with the 7th (Royal) Fusiliers and who was killed at Roncesvalles on 25 July 1813 during the battle of the Pyrenees in the Peninsular War. The memoir is annotated by the author's great-great nephew, Sir Lees Knowles and the introduction is by one of the leading authorities on the Napoleonic period.
