5.0 out of 5 stars The Complete Story, May 24, 2005

(REAL NAME)   
This review is from: January to September 1809: From the Battle of Corunna to the End of the Talavera Campaign (History of the Peninsular War) (Hardcover)
Sir Charles Oman's comprehensive seven volume history of the Peninsular War is the yardstick by which any other history of this theatre must be measured. It is exhaustive in detail and in breadth of coverage. If it happened, it is in one of these volumes. Napoleon may have considered Spain a side show, but as results turned out it was a bleeding ulcer. French losses here, combined with the 1812 campaign, placed a strain on the Empire which could not be overcome by even the best generalship. Any true student of the Napoleonic Wars should find these books and read them. They are essential to a complete understanding of the conflict.
