History of War

Gareth Glover’s work is a good addition to the existing shelf of books on the two Battles of Copenhagen.

The Northern Mariner/Le marin du nord, 2018 – reviewed by Thomas Malcomson Toronto, Ontario

Glover’s The Two Battles of Copenhagen 1801 and 1807 is a well–
researched history of two of the most minor episodes of the Napoleonic Wars. He
gives the reader a clear context as to why the conflicts of 1801 and 1807 came
about, the negotiations that went on behind the scenes to try and avert war,
particularly in 1801, and gives extensive accounts of the naval and land battles.
Anyone interested in the naval history of the wars, would also find this book
useful to read about the strategy and tactics discussed and then used by the
British commanders for the Battle of Copenhagen on 2 April 1801.

The Napoleon Series

STORIA militare, March 2019

Clear and compelling operational chapters examine the development of strategy, discuss the tactics and reflect on the human experience of war.

Mariners Mirror

The narrative flows easily without getting bogged down in lists or too much factual detail. But the detail, the product of much research, is contained in the appendices of which there are thirty six. The author’s forte in flushing out hitherto unpublished first hand accounts is used to good effect. He makes clear the difference between reporting and opinion whenever he has exercised his judgement especially when dealing with variations between a number of original accounts

Clash of Steel

As one has come to expect from Mr Glover, the book has been carefully researched and presents a detailed narrative of the two expeditions and their results, quoting extensively from the recollections of eyewitnesses on both sides, that will appeal to readers interested in British operations outside the Iberian Peninsula during the Napoleonic Wars.

Miniature Wargames, January 2019 – reviewed by Arthur Harman

Interestingly, Powers describes these two major events from both the British and Danish perspectives, showing well how they fitted into the politics of this region during this turbulent phase of European history.
