A new book on Albuera by historian Guy Dempsey is due to be published in May 2023. Albuera Eyewitness tells the story of the battle using accounts of people who were there. This will be a welcome addition to his previous book on the battle, Albuera 1811, which is probably the best book on the battle. Press release below

On 22 July 2022 I will speaking on 'the Logistics of a 19 Century siege - Ciudad Rodrigo 1812. This will be a summary of the chapter that will appear in Zack White's Siege Warfare book expected to be published in 2023.
I will be presenting on the Lines of Torres Vedras at the War & Peace in the Age of Napoleon conference on 9 September 2022. The programme for this three day event has now been published. I have just completed a paper which I hope will become a chapter in the forthcoming book on sieges edited by Dr Zack White. A siege was an enormous logistical exercise. The actual siege was the easy bit assuming that you did the logistics correctly.
I am waiting for confirmation of its acceptance and the publication date. New speaking engagements include:
Waterloo Association, Royal Armouries, Leeds, 10 September 2022. I will be talking about the allied siege of San Sebastián in 1813. Waterloo Association. Higham Hall, 24-26 March 2023.

This book will make greater use of Spanish archival resources and new Spanish research on the controversial operation. Due to be published in autumn 2023 by Helion.
