Ian Fletcher proves the old adage that a picture is worth a thousand words. No matter how well written a history or a memoir is there is nothing like a photograph when describing terrain. Ian Fletcher’s superb photography often makes it much easier to understand what is written in the histories... This book is a must for those who follow the Peninsular War.

The Napoleon Series - September 2012 - reviewed by Robert Burnham

Excellent colour photography. It scores highly on quality, with some stunning photographs of the wild and rugged battlefields of the war. This is a very attractive book that also gives the reader a much clearer image of the Peninsular battlefields, and that thus acts as a good companion to any general history of the war.

The book has been compiled to present the story of the Peninsular War in a very attractive format. The selection of photographs take the reader on a pictorial journey through the Peninsular campaign, and the picture captions add to the story. This book is a good companion for those visiting the Peninsular War battlefields.

Waterloo Journal

Ian Fletcher's 1994 book...has revisited the sites of that war under the title: The Peninsular War, Wellington's Battlefields Revisited. Quite a bit has changed over the last twenty years and this is shown with 145 colour photos of all the major battlefields and very many of the smaller ones...in this essential companion for all visitors to the peninsular battlefields where so much can still be seen but only for those who know where to look. This book shows how.

This is a fine picture book and one that I know that we will use frequently—commencing with our game of Salamanca later this year—to provide tips regarding terrain. A valuable edition to the library.
