Synopsis
The 1807-1814 war in the Iberian Peninsula was one of the most significant and influential campaigns of the Napoleonic Wars. Arising from Napoleon's strategic necessity to impose his rule over Portugal andSpain, it evolved into a constant drain on his resources. Sir Charles Oman's seven volume history of the campaign is an unrivalled and essential work. His extensive use and analysis of French, Spanish, Portuguese and British participants' accounts and archival material, together with his own inspection of the battlefields, provides a comprehensive and balanced account of this most important episode in Napoleonic military history. The first part of Sir Charles Oman's classic history provides the background to the war and its origins, and covers the early stages of the conflict.

Introducing the subject and many of its main players, this volume recounts the French invasion of Portugal and the forcible deposition of the Spanish royal family, the beginning of Spanish popular resistance, the arrival of the British in the Iberian Peninsula, the first victories of Sir Arthur Wellesley (the future Duke of Wellington), Napoleon's personal participation in the Spanish campaign, the French surrender at Baylen, and Sir John Moore's terrible retreat, ending with his death in the hour of victory at the Battle of Corunna.

Most Helpful Customer Reviews   15 of 15 people found the following review helpful: THE History of the Peninsular War, 28 Jul 2001 By  sysy16@yahoo.com (Scotland) - See all my reviews This review is from: A History of the Peninsular War: 1807-09: From the Treaty of Fontainebleau to the Battle of Corunna v. 1 (Hardcover) These books (volumes one to seven) are VERY detailed. Oman has put in a massive amount of research although this can at times overwhelm the reader and is to be avoided by casual readers. Sir Charles Oman's History is reasonalby un-biased for a Britsh Historian, esp. compared to Napiers work on the same topic. Full of orders of battle, losses, maps and other vital information to historians and wargamers alike these books are a must for any serious student of the Peninsular War.  Comment | Permalink | Was this review helpful to you?
