Samenvatting
Three little reported campaigns of the Napoleonic age
There is particular interest among students of Napoleonic warfare-perhaps because it was fought far away from the well known campaigns-in the Battle of Maida fought in 1806 on the Calabrian coast of Italy. A British led expedition under Stuart, decisively defeated a French army under Reynier. Bunbury is noted for 'particularly distinguishing himself' during the conflict, though posterity is the principal beneficiary of Bunbury's presence. He wote an outstanding and erudite account of the prevailing situation in the Mediterranean region, and provided essential information regarding the expedition and the battle itself. This book contains three elements including a summary of Bunbury's active military career edited from a biography. The principal work comprises his descriptions of events in which he took part including the Campaign in Holland in 1799, the Egyptian Campaign of 1801 and, of course the military transactions which led to Maida. This work reveals Bunbury's enduring literary ability, which has led some to regard him as the finest military historian of his day. This unique Leonaur book concludes with Professor Charles Oman's later analysis and description of the Battle of Maida.
Leonaur editions are newly typeset and are not facsimiles; each title is available in softcover and hardback with dustjacket.
