About this product

Product Information

Abandoned by the retreating Spanish Army during the Peninsular war, the gun was an eighteen pounder bronze cannon, thirteen feet long, a foot in diameter at the muzzle, and weighing three tons. When a group of Spanish partisans come across it two years later they see in it a chance for victory against the French. But first they must take it a hundred miles across the mountains, with nothing but a handful of donkeys and half-starved oxen to haul it. First they must gather forces On its epic journey over the mountains, the ornamented bronze cannon begins to gain almost mystical significance for the ever-swelling force that surrounds it. With the gun going on before them they are no longer a mere band of Spanish irregulars, they are an army. With the might of the gun on their side they can take on the cream of Napoleon s troops, they can march openly across the plains, they can batter great fortresses into subjection

  • The Gun

    I enjoyed the book probably better than the film that was made from it, The Pride and the Passion. The book gives a sense of accomplishment to each group who are fortunate enough to get their hands on this Gun, each believing that this will change the balance of their war against their individual enemies. This is one of the books you tend to keep so at a later date you can bring it out again to enjoy the story line.
