Lavish Illustrations, sadly the budget did not run to many in colour, but overall not a bad coffee table book on the subject. to an english speaker, the more pro-French stance taken is refreshing, and sometimes valuable in discussing the War. there are portraits of most of the prominent soldiers on either side and some maps. There is a four piece reproduction of the fine nineteenth Century Map of Spain that adorned Gen. Foy's account of the War, a book analogous to Napier's British book. It is at a scale of one centimetre equals 40 kms. (You don't get a scale on every section.) A fun book, but I would not use it as a closely footnoted source. Pretty good set of uniforms, though the Osprey books are more detailed. ( )
