Ludlow Beamish's famous history of the K.G.L. is undoubtedly one of the rarest and most sought-after contemporary studies of the Napoleonic Wars. Much praised by Sir Charles Oman as 'a valuable and conscientious' history, it was largely compiled from eyewitness accounts of serving soldiers. The Legion played a major part in the British Army in the Peninsula and this 2 volume edition is a vital addition to the library of all serious students of the Napoleonic Wars.
