| Salamanca was the most decisive battle of the entire
Peninsular War. Wellington smashed Marmont's French Army and his
pursuit of its shattered remnants led to the famous cavalry charge
of the King's German Legion at Garcia Hernandez. There would be two
more years of sieges and hard fighting before the Iron Duke crossed
the Pyrenees into France but from Salamanca the British and their
Portuguese and Spanish allies always had the upper hand. Ian
Fletcher examines this important battle in detail and also discusses
the campaign which led up to it. |
