"A History of the Peninsular War, Vol. 1, 1807-1809" by Charles Oman is a historical account written in the early 20th century. This volume focuses on the events surrounding the Peninsular War, analyzing the political and military developments from the Treaty of Fontainebleau to the Battle of Corunna. The book aims to compile extensive research and new insights into the Napoleonic conflicts in Spain and Portugal, especially exploring the dynamics between the French and Spanish power structures during this tumultuous period. At the start of the book, Oman outlines the historical context that led to the Peninsular War, highlighting Napoleon's ambitions and the fragility of the Spanish monarchy under King Charles IV and his favorite, Manuel Godoy. The opening sections look at the Treaty of Fontainebleau and its implications, revealing how Napoleon used Spanish weaknesses to plot his military strategies. Oman introduces key figures, including Godoy and the young Ferdinand of Asturias, and emphasizes the growing unrest and political intrigue within the Spanish court, setting the stage for a dramatic conflict that would involve multiple nations and reshape European political boundaries.
