    Britain's Worst Defeat? Bergen op Zoom

    Did Britain suffer its worst defeat of the Napoleonic Wars at Bergen Op Zoom in 1814? If so, why? And how could this happen when the British Army was supposedly at the height of its powers in 1814? Andrew Bamford joins us for the concluding episode of his two part series looking at the British campaign in the Low Countries in 1813 and 1814. We discuss the bombardment of Antwerp, why it was doomed to failure in the first place, and what the British did next, leading to the attack on Bergen op Zoom.
