The Battle of Salamanca, fought in Spain on July 22nd, 1812, was one of the most important battles of the Napoleonic era. In this episode, I am joined by one of the best and most prolific writers on the British army in the Napoleonic Wars, Gareth Glover, as well as a long-time friend of the show, Marcus Cribb. This episode is packed with detail and debate - make sure to listen until the end to find out if this was indeed Wellington's greatest battle.
