"A History of the Peninsular War, Vol. 1, 1807-1809: From the treaty of…" by Sir Charles Oman is a scholarly historical work published in 1902. This first volume of a seven-volume series examines the military campaigns of the Peninsular War in Iberia during the Napoleonic conflicts. Oman meticulously researched diaries, dispatches, and archives while personally visiting battlefields to counter earlier biased accounts. His Victorian prose brings equal analysis to Spanish, Portuguese, British, and French forces, focusing on individual soldiers rather than abstract military units in this thorough chronicle of warfare.
