This volume covers a significant period of military conflict in the Iberian Peninsula, specifically focusing on the events from the Battle of Corunna to the end of the Talavera campaign. The work examines the strategic developments of the Napoleonic Wars in Spain, highlighting the chaos and fragmentation of military operations during this tumultuous time. The opening of this volume discusses the aftermath of Napoleon's retreat from central Spain, marking the transition from a unified French strategy to a series of disconnected campaigns among both French and Spanish troops. Charles Oman meticulously outlines the French forces' repositioning following Moore's diversion and the counteractions of the beleaguered Spanish armies, who struggle with disorganization and ineffective leadership. The narrative sets the stage for several battles, including the Battle of Ucles, where the disjointed Spanish troops face off against the more cohesive French army, leading to significant losses for the Spaniards. This early part of Oman's account establishes not only the military conditions of the period but also the broader implications for the Spanish resistance against French occupation.
