Description
"A History of the Peninsular War, Vol. 6, September 1, 1812-August 5, 1813" by Sir Charles Oman is a historical work published in 1922. This volume chronicles eleven crucial months of the Peninsular War, covering the siege of Burgos, the retreat that followed, and Wellington's advance through Spain culminating in the battle of Vittoria and fighting in the Pyrenees. Part of Oman's monumental seven-volume history, it draws on extensive primary sources and personal reconnaissance of battlefields to counter earlier biased accounts and provide balanced coverage of all powers involved.
