Description
Book SynopsisIn 1820, liberal revolutions broke out in the Iberian Peninsula and these conflicts led to the Portuguese War of the Two Brothers (1831-1834) and the Spanish First Carlist War (1833-1840). During this period, the Greeks fought their War of Independence (1821-1832) against Turkey. British mercenaries fought in these three wars.
Trade ReviewA good account for some very overlooked campaigns. * The NYMAS Review *
