“If I had had two Marshals like Suchet I should not only have conquered Spain, but have kept it."
This was the measured and just opinion of Marshal Suchet. Out of the graveyard for reputation that Spain became for the French generals, Marshal Suchet’s ability, aplomb and shrewdness gained him the unique distinction of being awarded his marshal’s dignity to his services in Spain.
In his memoirs of the War in Spain, he recounts his experiences with honesty, balance and verve. His exciting battle narratives are interspersed with his expert appreciations of the situation as the Peninsular slipped from French grasp and the often acrimonious relations between the French commanders. With the fanatical resistance of the Spanish people, a lack of co-ordination, few supplies and growing British pressure, the achievement of Suchet under such circumstances is truly brilliant. A humble and moderate man, Suchet wrote his memoirs as he commanded in the field, with dash, brilliance, balance and poise.
A fine addition to the library of anyone interested in the Peninsular War.
Author —Marshal Suchet, Louis-Gabriel, Duc d'Albufera, 1770-1826
Translator — Anon.
Text taken, whole and complete, from the edition published in London: H. Colburn, 1829.
Original Page Count – 499 pages.
