The Battle of Salamanca - The French Perspective - Part 2
Listen now
Description
Did the French left wing just run away at Salamanca? Well not exactly. Garry Wills continues his forensic reappraisal of what happened to the troops of Maucune & Thomierres' division after initially being broken. We discuss the French rearguard, and the tantalising clues that have been missed about the French last stand at Salamanca.

Now, Napoleonicists! Now is your time! Spotify have gutted the podcast, disconnecting me from half the listeners. This is how you can help me try to rebuild from the ashes.
