Christian Parkinson and Steve Brown cover three genuinely obscure British campaigns of the Napoleonic era: the disastrous River Plate expedition against Buenos Aires and Montevideo, the capture of Mauritius, and a third colonial operation. This is the kind of episode that earns its hour — campaigns most listeners won't know, with enough tactical and logistical detail to understand why some succeeded and others didn't. Excellent for anyone who thinks they know the Napoleonic Wars but has never looked beyond the Peninsula and Waterloo.
