  • A History of the Peninsular War Volume I

    by Charles Oman ...

  • A History of the Peninsular War - Vol. III

    by Charles Oman ...
    This, the third volume of the History of the Peninsular War, covers a longer period than either of its predecessors, extending over the sixteen months from Wellington’s arrival at Badajoz on his retreat from Talavera (Sept. 3, 1809) to the deadlock in front of Santarem (Dec. 1810), which marked the end of Masséna’s offensive campaign in Portugal. It thus embraces the central crisis of the whole ... Read more

  • Wellington's Army

    by Charles Oman ...
    WHILE WORKING FOR THE LAST nine years at the History of the Peninsular War, I have (as was inevitable) been compelled to accumulate many notes, and much miscellaneous information which does not bear upon the actual chronicle of events in the various campaigns that lie between 1808 and 1814, but yet possesses high interest in itself, and throws many a side-light on the general course of the war. ...

They came to announce to him that the army of the West had slain the patrician Orestes, and deposed from his throne the son of Orestes, the boy ... Read more

  • A History of the Peninsular War - Vol. II

    by Charles Oman ...
    The second volume of this work has swelled to an even greater bulk than its predecessor. Its size must be attributed to two main causes: the first is the fact that a much greater number of original sources, both printed and unprinted, are available for the campaigns of 1809 than for those of 1808. The second is that the war in its second year had lost the character of comparative unity which it ... Read more
