Book excerpt: Includes over 100 maps of the actions, engagements and battles of the entire Peninsular War. Whilst writing his magisterial The History of The Peninsular War, Sir Charles Oman gathered material that was to become Wellington’s Army. Into Wellington’s Army he gathered, as he says in his Preface, “much miscellaneous information which does not bear upon the actual chronicle of events in the various campaigns that lie between 1808 and 1814, but yet possesses high interest in itself, and throws many a side-light on the general course of the war ... these notes relate either to the personal characteristics of that famous old army of Wellington, which, as he himself said, ‘could go anywhere and do anything,’ or to its inner mechanism — the details of its management. I purport to speak in these pages of the leaders and the led; of the daily life, manners, and customs of the Peninsular Army, as much as of its composition and its organization. I shall be dealing with the rank and file no less than with the officers, and must even find space for a few pages on that curious and polyglot horde of camp followers which trailed at the heels of the army, and frequently raised problems which worried not only colonels and adjutants, but even the Great Duke himself.”

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Sir Charles William Chadwick Oman, KBE (1860-1946) was a British military historian. He was born in India, the son of a tea planater, and educated at Winchester College and Oxford University. In 1881 he was elected to a Prize Fellowship at All Souls College where he remained for the rest of his academic career, becoming the Chichele Professor of Modern History at Oxford in 1905. He served as President of the Royal Historical Society from 1917-21 and was employed by the government's Press Bureau and the Foreign Office during the First World War. From 1919-35 he was the Conservative MP for the University of Oxford constituency and was knighted in 1920. He was the author of numerous works on military history and his reconstructions of mediaeval battles from fragmentary accounts were considered pioneering. This book was first published in 1912 and is reprinted from the second impression of 1913. Illustrated with eight full-page plates.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Wellington's Army: 1809-1814 Much has been written concerning Wellington and his famous Peninsular Army in the way of formal history: this volume, however, will I think contain somewhat that is new to most students concerning its organization, its day by day life, and its psychology. To understand the exploits of Wellington's men, it does not suffice to read a mere chronicle of their marches and battles. I have endeavoured to collect in these pages notices of those aspects of their life with which no strategical or tactical work can deal, though tactics and even strategy will not be found unnoticed. My special thanks are due to my friend Mr. C. T. Atkinson, Fellow of Exeter College, Oxford, for allowing me to use the admirable list of the brigade and divisional organization of the Peninsular Army which forms Appendix II. It is largely expanded from the article on the same topic which he printed eight years ago in the Historical Review, and enables the reader to find out the precise composition of every one of Wellington's units at any moment between April, 1808 and April, 1814. I have also to express my gratitude to the Hon. John Fortescue, the author of the great History of the British Army, for answering a good many queries which I should have found hard to solve without his aid. The index is by the same loving hand which has worked on so many of my earlier volumes. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
