This work details the course of the Vittoria campaign, the pinnacle of Wellington's achievement in the peninsular, from the initial invasion in May, to the final crushing victory and the advance into Napoleon's France.
Osprey''s Campaign title for the Battle of Vittoria during the Napoleonic Wars (1799-1815). Despite Wellington''s success against Marmont''s army at Salamanca in July, the year of 1812 ended in bitter disappointment for the British. However, a year later Wellington''s series of brilliant manoeuvres threw the French onto the defensive on all fronts, culminating in the final victory at Vittoria: 90,000 men and 90 guns attacking in four mutually supporting columns. The French centre gave way and both flanks were turned, their army finally breaking in flight towards Pamplona. Any French hopes of maintaining their position in the Peninsular were crushed forever. On 7 October the British set foot on the ''sacred soil'' of'' Napoleon''s France.
