Reviews
If all volumes of military history possessed the same sparkling prose, plentiful maps, OOBs with numbers, and insightful analysis as this book, you wouldn't need book reviews--every book would be as brilliant as this one. Enjoyed it. And looking forward to Volume 2.

Synopsis
This book details the campaigns of Louis-Gabriel Suchet in the Peninsular War. The only one of Napoleon's marshals to earn his baton in Spain, Suchet conquered Aragon, Lower Catalonia, and Valencia in a string of brilliant sieges and battles against both Spanish regular and guerrilla forces., Napoleon once famously remarked 'If I had had two Marshals like Suchet I should not only have conquered Spain, but have kept it'. Louis-Gabriel Suchet was one of the few French commanders to leave the Peninsular War with his reputation enhanced, and the only one to win his marshal's baton in that war. When Suchet was first appointed to take command of French forces in Aragon in 1809 as a général de division, the French were on the verge of losing control over that province. Through a string of brilliant battlefield victories and sieges against Spanish regular forces as well as an initially successful counter-guerrilla campaign, Suchet managed to not only secure French control of Aragon, but moved on to conquer Lower Catalonia and Valencia as well. Like all French commanders in the Peninsular War, Suchet was faced with the challenges of Spanish popular resistance, but stood out above his colleagues for his notable success in pacifying Aragon. Yet despite initial triumphs in 1809-1811 against the 'traditional guerrilla', Suchet's counter-guerrilla policies were less successful than is often popularly perceived. As the war went on, French resources became thinly stretched, while conversely, the guerrilla war was increasingly spearheaded by Spanish regular forces to great efficiency, which contributed to the eventual collapse of French control in Eastern Spain. Despite being universally accepted as among the best of Napoleon's marshals, the pivotal role Suchet played in the Peninsular War has largely been overlooked thus far. Through analysing a variety of sources from both French and Allied perspectives, ranging from modern viewpoints to those who saw the war themselves, Yuhan Kim examines both Suchet's successes and failures in his sieges, battles, counter-guerrilla operations, and administration. Each of Suchet's major actions, as well as those fought independently by his subordinates, is explained in extensive detail with maps and orders of battle. This first volume addresses the opening battles between Suchet and the Spanish commander Joaquin Blake, showing how Suchet recovered from an initial defeat to decisively crush his opponent, before considering the string of successful sieges that ended with the fall of Tarragona and a Marshal's baton., Fully details the Battle of Sagunto and Siege of Tarragona, as well as in-depth information on Suchet's campaigns, the only single work to do so in full, vivid detail.

- 9***f (821)- Feedback lasciato dall'acquirente.Mese scorsoAcquisto verificatoExcellent book looked brand new
- v***4 (109)- Feedback lasciato dall'acquirente.Mese scorsoAcquisto verificatoPurchased 5 car Madison rail car set at auction. Received package well wrapped and in original box. Cars themselves are in excellent condition and mostly as described, although I believe they have seen some track time. That being said, seller offers returns so I'm confident seller was told these cars were new by whomever he got them from. The purchase price was excellent so when averaged with a higher than normal shipping fee it turned out to be an overall good deal.
- D***-- Feedback lasciato dall'acquirente.Ultimi 6 mesiAcquisto verificatoI have ordered a couple of magazines from this company and I absolutely would buy from them again. Having said that, the shipping company (DHL) TOOK 2 MONTHS + to get it to me. This delay in no way reflects the company from who it was purchased. Great price, excellent packaging and prompt communication.(D) #27D - RARE 1966 DRAG CARTOONS MAGAZINE BATMAN & ROBIN COVER PETE MILLARS (N° 387611465652)
- i***_ (539)- Feedback lasciato dall'acquirente.Ultimi 6 mesiAcquisto verificatoPerfect seller, perfect buying experience! Great communication, fast to ship, excellent packaging job, especially for a larger eBay book seller, shipped in cardboard sleeve that protects the book well! Thrift Books, Second.Sale, World of Books, and Half-Price Books should TAKE NOTE, those 4 companies ship in plastic bags with zero protection that almost always damage books. Item in awesome condition, super helpful seller, will definitely buy from you again! Thank you, Books From California!
