24 June 2023 @ 09:00 - 25 June 2023 @ 17:00
NHSA is delighted and honoured to welcome Professor Charles Esdaile as our speaker for this event in which we analyse the battle of Vitoria. Professor of History at Liverpool University, Charles Esdaile has been prolific in his publications on the Peninsular War and is a specialist on Spain in the Revolutionary and Napoleonic era. His many works include “The Peninsular War: A New History” and “Peninsular Eyewitnesses: the Experience of War in Spain and Portugal 1808-1813”. He must now stand as the most authoritative British source on what has been called “Napoleon’s Spanish Ulcer”. He also has a strong interest in the simulation of historical battles and is about to publish a new work “Wargaming Waterloo”. The talk will be held at 9.15 am on Saturday 24 June 2023 at 24 Kingfisher Court, Newbury RG14 5SJ and will be accompanied by an exhibition and simulation as with all other NHSA events.
