The Napoleonic Wars was truly a worldwide conflict and Britain found itself engaged in battles; sieges and amphibious operations around the globe. Following every battle the commanding officer submitted a report back to the Admiralty or the War Office. Presented here together for the first time are those original dispatches from some forty generals; captains and admirals detailing more than eighty battles that took place in India; Africa; Europe and the Americas. This unique collection of original documents will prove to be an invaluable resource for historians; students and all those interested in what was one of the most important periods in British military and naval history.The reports include those from some of Britain’s most famous battles; the likes of Trafalgar and Waterloo; as well as less well-known but just as important engagements which resulted in the capture of the islands and territories which helped form the greatest empire the world has ever known.
