| Summary | "Memoirs of the Late War, Vol 2 (of 2)" by Cooke, Moodie, and Munster is a historical account written in the early 19th century. This volume contains personal narratives and detailed accounts of military campaigns during the Napoleonic Wars, specifically focusing on the experiences of Captain Cooke and others in significant battles in Portugal and Holland. The work intends to provide readers with a vivid depiction of wartime experiences, hardships, and the valor of soldiers. At the start of the memoir, we are introduced to the environment of Navarre, detailing the habits of the farming classes and the military presence during the war. The narrative follows Captain Cooke as he obtains permission to observe the assault on St. Sebastian, leading to a graphic description of the tense and chaotic battle, including the heroism and tragic fates of soldiers like Lieutenant Mac Guire. The opening portion sets the scene for the ensuing military actions, illustrated by Cooke's reflections on the brutality of war, the calamities faced by the attacking troops, and the emotional toll on both combatants and civilians as they witness the struggle for control in a conflict-ridden landscape.
