Eyewitness to the Peninsular War and the Battle of Waterloo: the letters and journals of Lieutenant Colonel James Stanhope 1803 to 1825 recording his service with Sir John Moore, Sir Thomas Graham and the Duke of Wellington

His writing gives a graphic inside view of the military and political situation of the time as it was perceived at the top levels of the British army.
