This is the second of my short season about the life of Sir Hugh Gough, the Irish officer who was possibly the best British commander of the Peninsular war.

In today's episode, I am joined once more by Dr Chris Brice to talk about Gough's command during the Rockite rebellion of 1821-24 in Ireland.

This is not a deep dive into the politics - simply a look at Gough and his performance.

Chris has written a book on the life of Gough that can be purchased via helion.co.uk - put in the code LION2020 at checkout for a 20% discount (limited time only).
