Drawing on letters and papers of the Bevan family and other contemporary sources this book examines the background to Wellingtonís order to defend the bridge; the subsequent blame heaped upon Bevan for the part played by him and his Battalion; and the very questionable role of the incompetent, drunken, General Erskine in the affair.
