A ‘Light Bob’ tells of his war against Napoleon Irishman Anthony Hamilton enlisted in the 43rd Light Infantry and soon found himself in action with the Danish expedition. Shortly thereafter the first campaign in the Iberian peninsula began and Hamilton sailed with his regiment to Portugal. Under Moore he experienced the campaign and battles of Rolica, Vimiero and the evacuation at Corunna. Returning under Wellington the author takes us to Talavera, Busaco, Albuera and many other pivotal actions leading to the momentous victory at Vittoria. This is a concise and entertaining account of the Napoleonic War the ordinary British soldier knew and is an essential book for the library of every student of the period.
