Fitchett, an Australian clergyman, retells the great battles of Britain’s wars of the eighteenth and early nineteenth centuries — Cape St. Vincent, the siege of Quebec, the Nile, Copenhagen, Albuera, Badajoz, Ciudad Rodrigo, Roncesvalles and others — as dramatic scenes, avowedly to nourish imperial patriotism, a purpose of its own era.
Hugely popular in its day, still a stirring read for lovers of Napoleonic-era military history. Download the free EPUB.
