"A History of the Peninsular War, Vol. 2, Jan.-Sep. 1809: From the battle of..." by Sir Charles Oman is a historical work published in 1903. This second volume chronicles seven crucial months of the Peninsular War, covering events from Corunna through the Talavera campaign. Drawing on extensive primary sources including diaries, military dispatches, and personal reconnaissance of battlefields, Oman presents a balanced account of British, Spanish, Portuguese, and French forces. His scholarly
yet engaging narrative counters earlier biased histories while bringing human actors to life against the backdrop of Napoleonic conflict in Iberia. (This is an automatically generated summary.)
