Book Review:

Badajoz 1812

By Ian Fletcher
Illustrated by Bill Younghusband

Reviewed by Russ Lockwood


Osprey, 1999, $?, ISBN 1-84176-261-X, 96 pages softbound

This reissue of Osprey Campaign #65 has a new cover and all the usual battle summary info inside. As usual for Osprey, it's competently done with a lot of modern-day photos, contemporary drawings, maps, and uniform illustrations. It's all bundled in one succinct package.

I'm not sure of the price, but I picked this up in a discount bin for $4.95, and it's well worth it for Napoleonic Peninsula War buffs. If you like this, you'll also like Salamanca 1812.
