Da badana da capa anterior da sobrecapa, "Wellington´s clash with Massena was one of the most remarkable contests between two commanders in the Peninsular War. These two formidable generals carried on a campaign of manoeuvre, battle and attrition across Spain and Portugal in 1810 and 1811 which had a decisive impact on the outcome of the war. Wellington´s reputation was enhanced, Massena´s was ruined.
