Posted By: Polik88

Date: June 28, 2012

Best-selling author Bernard Cornwell presents the history of the Peninsular War, the setting for his famous Sharpe novels.

Part 1: Napoleons Great Mistake
Bernard Cornwell explores the background to the Peninsular War, the field of battle where Napoleon's troops first encountered the military genius of the Duke of Wellington. The emperor's decision to place his own brother on the Spanish throne plunged the country into conflict - which the British were quick to enter.

Part 2: To the Lines of Torres Vedras
The Lines of Torres Vedras, a network of fortified defences built by the Duke of Wellington, which forced Napoleon's troops to beat a bitter retreat from the gates of Lisbon during the Peninsular War.

Part 3: The Spanish Ulcer
Bernard Cornwell examines how Napoleon redirected his troops away from Spain, allowing Wellington to seize victory at Salamanca.

Part 4: Over the Pyrenees
Exploring how Wellington finally drove the French out of Spain and across the Pyrenees. Abandoned loot made many British soldiers wealthy, and Napoleon was forced to abdicate.
