Under Wellington's Command: A Tale Of The Peninsular War (1899) is a historical fiction novel written by George Alfred Henty. The book is set during the Peninsular War, which took place between 1807 and 1814 in Spain and Portugal, and follows the story of a young British officer named Terence O'Connor. Terence is sent to the Iberian Peninsula to fight against Napoleon's army, and he quickly finds himself in the thick of battle. He serves under the command of the famous British general, the Duke of Wellington, and participates in several key battles, including the Battle of Talavera and the Battle of Vitoria. Throughout the book, Terence must navigate the challenges of war, including dangerous missions, treacherous terrain, and difficult relationships with his fellow soldiers. He also faces personal challenges, such as falling in love with a Spanish girl and struggling with his own beliefs about the war. Under Wellington's Command provides a detailed and engaging account of the Peninsular War, with a particular focus on the experiences of the British soldiers who fought in it. The book is filled with action-packed battle scenes, vivid descriptions of the landscape and the people who inhabit it, and a cast of colorful characters who bring the story to life.
