The gallant stand of the Gordon Highlanders at Maya in 1813 epitomises the dogged fighting of the British soldier, and this book shows how he actually fought. This highly detailed study sets out a clear technical account of how British armies actually functioned in the field during the Napoleonic period, with unprecedented detail of doctrine, training, tactics and equipment. It also provides a comprehensive Order of Battle for Wellington's army in the Peninsular 1809-14. Clear and accurate map, unit trees and TOEs are included in this detailed title.
