Recenzii

'A very readable account that succeeds in shedding fresh light on a series of episodes that have already been much discussed: highly recommended – it might even be said that it takes its subject by storm!' Charles Esdaile, University of Liverpool
'A revival of siege warfare during the Napoleonic campaigns led to increased levels of violence with the burning of cities and murder of civilians. Drawing on diaries and memoirs, Gavin Daly reassesses Britain's role in these sieges and discusses the trauma and the conflicting emotions that afflicted the soldiers involved.' Alan Forrest, University of York
'Dr Daly, with clarity and panache, shows us the high drama of pre-modern siege warfare, with its alluring prospect of personal gain from plunder. In addition, he sheds light on cultural, ritualistic, ethical and legal aspects of siege warfare. No reader can fail to learn a vast amount from this masterful work.' Stephen Neff, University of Edinburgh
