"History of the War in the Peninsula and in the South of France" by W. F. P. Napier is a detailed historical record from the early 1800s, chronicling the Peninsular War's battles, techniques, and politics involving British, French, and Spanish armies from 1807 to 1814. The narrative begins by examining the repercussions of Sir John Moore's campaign, highlighting England's political climate and public response to military setbacks, then transitions to Joseph Bonaparte's ascension in Spain, illustrating the state of the French army and challenges met by both the invaders and Spanish rebels. The beginning chapters introduce a disorderly military environment and the ineffective efforts of Spanish leaders to oppose the imposing French invasion, setting the context for a thorough study of the developing conflict.
