Griffith, RobertSO JUST AND GLORIOUS A CAUSE: Britain and the Liberation of Portugal - Rolica and Vimeiro, 1808 Detailed narrative of Wellington's first campaign in the Peninsula. Using memoirs, letters, and previously unpublished primary sources, it covers events from Junot's invasion in late 1807 to the Portuguese revolts in the summer of 1808, and then the sailing of the British expedition and the battles of Rolica and Vimeiro, through to the controversial Convention of Cintra and the liberation of Portugal from the French. Makes extensive use of primary sources from all levels of the French, Portuguese, and British forces involved, many of them previously unpublished. The forced marches of the French troops as they crossed into Portugal, the diplomatic efforts and occupation in Lisbon, and the Royal Navy blockade are all examined, as well as Vice Admiral Cotton's efforts to fan the flames of revolt in Portugal and offer support for the uprisings.
