About This Book

This collection presents concise, campaign-by-campaign accounts of the fighting in the Peninsular campaigns, reconstructing major combats and sieges from early incursions through final operations across Spain and southern France. It emphasizes troop movements, battlefield deployments, siege operations, and command decisions, drawing on eyewitness testimony, official correspondence, and military reports. Portraits of commanders and sketches of soldiers' courage recur alongside tactical narration; chapters group individual actions, from skirmishes and set-piece battles to prolonged sieges, into a chronological military history that records operations and the endurance of the troops.

Transcriber’s Notes

Punctuation, hyphenation, and spelling were made consistent when a predominant preference was found in the original book; otherwise they were not changed.

Simple typographical errors were corrected; unbalanced quotation marks were remedied when the change was obvious, and otherwise left unbalanced.

Text uses both Mackenzie and McKenzie.

The running headers of the original book included dates. In this eBook, those dates appear in parentheses, next to the Section headings.
