Book description

This poem by T.M Hughes presents a lyrical account of the military achievements of England of the six-year Peninsular War, whose atrocities he had witnessed. But even while celebrating the most magnificent military accomplishments, he made sure to teach everyone the horrors of War. He was able to present this historical poem with such accuracy because he had lived for those six years in Peninsula. He has lived amid rebellions, revolutions, military actions, and even portions of three sieges of Seville and Barcelona in 1843 and that of Almeida in Portugal in 1844.


The poem consists of 12 incredibly written Cantos that illustrate the subject vividly. The descriptions of the battle ground are so accurate after personal observations that Hughes made himself.


The Peninsular War (1807–1814) was the military dispute in the Iberian Peninsula fought by Spain, Portugal, and the United Kingdom against the invading and occupying forces of the First French Empire during the Napoleonic Wars.
