"A History of the Peninsular War, Vol. 3, Sep. 1809-Dec. 1810" by Charles Oman is a deep exploration into a crucial period of the Napoleonic Wars, specifically the battles fought in Spain and Portugal. The book describes how political tension and tactical missteps dramatically shape the battlefields of Ocaña and Bussaco. It showcases Wellington's strategic genius as he faces logistical nightmares and unreliable allies, all leading to Masséna's retreat and the establishment of formidable defenses at Torres Vedras, which changed the entire course of the war.
