The story of how the Iron Duke turned disaster into triumph, and defeat into a final victory, has surely never been told with more authority.Volume Two begins with Wellington besieging and storming Badajoz and Ciudad Roderigo. These successes are followed by the difficult but decisive campaign culminating in Wellington's victory over Marshal Marmont at Salamanca and his entry into Madrid. After a difficult winter, Wellington once again resumes the offensive, defeats Marshal Soult at Vitoria and chases him over the Pyrenees and out of Spain. But Soult's stubborn resistance continues at the battles of Nivelle, the Nive, and Orthez as the fighting moves towards Toulouse where Wellington fights his final, victoriuous battle of the war as news of Napoleon's abdication arrives.Both volumes are liberally illustrated with maps and sketches of the battles and other operations. What Napoleon called his 'Spanish ulcer' has never been more minutely described and dissected, with the author paying a military man's due attention to the sinews of war as well as to the action. 410 0$aWellington's Operations in the Peninsula 1808-1814 606 $aPeninsular War, 1807-1814 615 0$aPeninsular War, 1807-1814. 676 $a940.2742 700 $aButler$b Capt.$01537418 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910786129103321 996 $aWellington's Operations in the Peninsula 1808-1814$93786716 997 $aUNINA LEADER 03177oam 22005293 450 001 9910956960003321 005 20240509002633.0 010 $a9780522871418 010 $a0522871410 035 $a(CKB)4100000007758800 035 $a(MiAaPQ)EBC5684058 035 $a(MiAaPQ)EBC31903911 035 $a(Au-PeEL)EBL31903911 035 $a(OCoLC)1493617133 035 $a(Perlego)1881660 035 $a(EXLCZ)994100000007758800 100 $a20240315d2017 uy 0 101 0 $aeng 135 $aurcnu|||||||| 181 $ctxt$2rdacontent 182 $cc$2rdamedia 183 $acr$2rdacarrier 200 10$aPreserving the Past $eThe University of Sydney and the Unified National System of Higher Education, 1987-96 205 $a1st ed. 210 1$aMelbourne :$cMelbourne University Publishing,$d2017. 210 4$dİ2017. 215 $a1 online resource 311 0 $a9780522871395 311 0 $a0522871399 320 $aIncludes Bibliography; Index 327 $aIntro; Title; Copyright; Contents; Tables; Acknowledgements; Abbreviations; Introduction; 1 A difficult transition; 2 Changing times; 3 Developments in New South Wales; 4 The Sydney scramble; 5 Research; 6 Implementing amalgamations; 7 Remaking the University; 8 Conclusion; Appendix: Summary tables; Bibliography; Index 330 8 $aThe Dawkins reforms of the late 1980s and the creation of the Unified National System roused passions at many universities across the nation over fears for the academic enterprise and Australia's system of free, public university education. With much at stake, the Dawkins reforms became a hot topic of discussion across university campuses, and even between Vice-Chancellors and state education ministers. Vice-Chancellors were threatened with motions of no-confidence, staff argued furiously against change and students protested against fees, yet mostly to no avail. The reforms were introduced and universities became subject to new ways of funding by the Commonwealth that changed the way higher education was organised in Australia.This volume tells the story of the Dawkins reforms at Australia's oldest university, the University of Sydney, and the unlikely alliance between the University's Vice-Chancellor and the New South Wales government in the scramble for more students. Between 1988 and 1996, the University grew exponentially. At the same time it strove to preserve its honoured past despite profound change. Did this desire to preserve an older tradition compromise its effort to master the future? 606 $aHigher education and state$zAustralia$xHistory$y20th century 606 $aEducation, Higher$zAustralia$xHistory$y20th century 606 $aUniversities and colleges$zAustralia$zSydney (N.S.W.)$xHistory 615 0$aHigher education and state$xHistory 615 0$aEducation, Higher$xHistory 615 0$aUniversities and colleges$xHistory. 700 $aHorne$b Julia$01787276 701 $aGarton$b Stephen$01230194 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910956960003321 996 $aPreserving the Past$94320233 997 $aUNINA
