This volume is part of a comprehensive study of the military campaigns in the Iberian Peninsula during the Napoleonic Wars, focusing on key events and battles from Wellington's arrival in Badajoz to the retreat of Masséna before the Lines of Torres Vedras. The narrative discusses major military strategies and encounters, including the battles at Ocaña and Bussaco, along with the overall significance of these events within the context of the war. The opening of the volume sets the stage for the unfolding historical narrative, describing Wellington's cautious approach to military operations in Spain after experiencing challenges with Spanish commanders and supply issues. Oman's detailed accounts of military maneuvers, political pressures, and the dynamics between different factions in Spain illuminate the complexities faced by the British Army during this period. Furthermore, the introduction emphasizes the implications of Masséna's retreat as a pivotal moment in the war, foreshadowing the subsequent defensive strategies employed by Wellington to safeguard Portugal and influence the course of the conflict.
