The first battle of Copenhagen in 1801 - the naval battle celebrated as one of Admiral Nelson's great naval victories in Britain - and the second - the British army's attack on the city in 1807, in which Wellington played a prominent role - were episodes in the continental struggle against the might of the French. Gareth Glover vividly describes these events, quoting extensively from the recollections of eyewitnesses on both sides. His account is a fascinating read and an important contribution to the history of the period.
