The book "Wellington and the Lines of Torres Vedras: The Defense of Lisbon During the Peninsular War, 1807-1814" by John H. G. Hill is a comprehensive study of one of the most important military campaigns of the Napoleonic Wars, which took place in the Iberian Peninsula between 1807 and 1814. The book focuses on the defense of Lisbon, which was crucial for both the British and Spanish armies fighting against the French invasion. The author provides an in-depth analysis of the strategic decisions made by the Duke of Wellington, who led the British forces, and how his tactics were influenced by the geography of the region and the political situation at the time. The book begins with an overview of the historical context of the Peninsular War, including the political and social factors that led to the conflict, as well as the military campaigns fought before and after the defense of Lisbon. The author then delves into the details of Wellington's strategy, highlighting his use of the Lines of Torres Vedras, a series of fortifications that protected the city from the French army. The book also explores the role of other military leaders and their contributions to the defense of Lisbon, such as the Spanish general Francisco Javier Venegas. Throughout the book, Hill emphasizes the importance of understanding the technological evolution of warfare during this period, particularly the development of artillery and the use of siege engines. He argues that this technological advancement played a critical role in the success of Wellington's defense and ultimately led to the defeat of Napoleon's armies in the Iberian Peninsula.
Книга Джона Х. Г. Хилла «Веллингтон и линии Торриш-Ведраша: оборона Лиссабона во время полуостровной войны, 1807 - 1814» представляет собой всестороннее исследование одной из важнейших военных кампаний Наполеоновских войн, которая проходила на Пиренейском полуострове между 1807 и 1814 годами. Книга посвящена обороне Лиссабона, которая имела решающее значение как для британской, так и для испанской армий, сражавшихся против французского вторжения. Автор приводит глубокий анализ стратегических решений, принятых герцогом Веллингтоном, возглавлявшим британские войска, и того, как на его тактику повлияла география региона и политическая ситуация в то время. Книга начинается с обзора исторического контекста Полуостровной войны, включая политические и социальные факторы, которые привели к конфликту, а также военные кампании, проводившиеся до и после обороны Лиссабона. Затем автор углубляется в детали стратегии Веллингтона, подчеркивая использование им «Линий Торрес-Ведрас» - серии укреплений, защищавших город от французской армии. В книге также исследуется роль других военачальников и их вклад в оборону Лиссабона, таких как испанский генерал Франсиско Хавьер Венегас. На протяжении всей книги Хилл подчёркивает важность понимания технологической эволюции ведения войны в этот период, в частности развития артиллерии и использования осадных машин. Он утверждает, что это технологическое продвижение сыграло важнейшую роль в успехе обороны Веллингтона и в конечном итоге привело к разгрому армий Наполеона на Пиренейском полуострове.
