Books like Kings and emperors by Dewey Lambdin


In the twenty‑first entry of Dewey Lambdin’s Alan Lewrie series, the Royal Navy captain finds himself wheeling a clutch of harbor‑defence gunboats in Gibraltar after his planned raids along the southern Spanish coast are halted. While awaiting the release of HMS Sapphire, Lewrie observes the unfolding Peninsular War, where Napoleon’s invasion of Portugal and the subsequent march into Spain trigger uprisings across the Iberian Peninsula. Lewrie’s ship is freed to ferry weapons to Spanish patriots, scout the impregnable fort of Ceuta, escort British expeditionary forces, and witness the early battles that would see Sir Arthur Wellesley later become the Duke of Wellington.
