HIBBERT Christopher

Corunna/ Christopher Hibbert - Moreton-in- Marsh: Windrush Press, 1996 - xiii, 168 pages maps. illustrations; 23 cm. - Great Battles .

In Corunna extensive use is made of the many eyewitness accounts which survive in the form of official despatches, histories, diaries, memoirs and letters. With the aid of these, Christopher Hibbert not only shows a remarkable understanding of John Moore and his fellow officers, of their conflicting characters and views, but also provides a horrifying picture of the hardships of this brief and bitter campaign.
