| Summary | "The Romance of War; or, The Highlanders in Spain, Volume 2" by James Grant is a historical novel written in the mid-19th century. This second volume continues the adventures of the Scottish Highlanders during the Peninsular War, focusing on themes of friendship, honor, and the harsh realities of military life. The narrative primarily revolves around Colonel Ronald Stuart and his compatriots as they navigate the complexities of war, including military engagements and personal relationships, particularly involving a character named Catalina. At the start of the novel, Ronald Stuart is reunited with his friend Macdonald, and they exchange news about their regiment and recent battles, including discussions about the destruction wrought by enemy forces. Their conversation reveals tensions not only within the military landscape but also personal conflicts, particularly between Ronald and the newly joined Louis Lisle, hinting at a past connection that causes friction. As they march across Spain, the hardships of the arduous journey and the toll it takes on the soldiers come to life, showcasing the camaraderie and challenges faced by the Highlanders as they prepare for the battles ahead.
