To celebrate the upcoming centennial of Wellington’s victory over Napoleon, the author of this 1913 history tapped diaries, letters, dispatches, and newspaper accounts to unearth largely unknown details about the Napoleonic Wars (1799-1815). Meet General Graham, Lord Lynedoch—the victor of Barrosa, Lieutenant-General Sir Thomas Picton—who stormed the castle at Badajoz, and many other new heroes.
