Review (PDF) Men-at-Arms 400: Wellington's Peninsula Regiments (2) The Light Infantry
The forces which Wellington led in Portugal and Spain and up into southern France during the Peninsular War (1808-1814) achieved a record of victory perhaps unmatched in the history of the British Army. Among his infantry the regiments of the Light Division were self-consciously an élite, trained to fight with initiative and independence on the exposed edges of the marching army. This book explains their evolution and tactics, details the campaigns in which they fought and illustrates the uniforms and equipment of the Light Infantry regiments: the 43rd (Monmouthshire), 52nd (Oxfordshire), 51st (2nd Yorkshire), 68th (Durham) and 85th (Bucks Volunteers).

Rsm Chappell has returned to Wellington's Army and has done well. If you like the History of the British Army and one of its brightest spots then here you go! Its well worth the money.
"Wellington's Peninsula Regiments" is exactly what I've come to expect from the "Men-At-Arms" series. It has superb drawings and details. I've been purchasing Osprey Books since the old days of nicely drawn but stiff and highly static pictures. Now any drawn graphics show the subjects in action and as they would have looked at the time. Overall an excellent volume and highly recommended.
