Summary: "A History of the Peninsular War, Vol. 5, Oct. 1811-Aug. 31, 1812" by Charles Oman is a historical account written in the early 20th century. This volume details the complex military campaigns during the Peninsular War, focusing on the year 1812, including significant battles, strategies, and key figures involved in the conflict. It specifically delves into Wellington's military maneuvers and the events leading to his campaign against French forces, particularly examining the fall of Valencia and the Siege of Ciudad Rodrigo. The opening of this volume introduces Suchet's invasion of Valencia in late 1811, setting the scene for the intense military engagements that followed. It outlines the beleaguered condition of the Spanish forces commanded by Blake against the well-prepared French troops, highlighting the staggering military dynamics at play. Oman describes the strategic orders from Napoleon, Suchet's preparations, and the attempts by Spanish forces to fortify Valencia against siege. Through a series of detailed accounts, the narrative reflects on the struggles faced by both commanders and their respective armies, emphasizing the dire circumstances and tactical challenges that characterized this phase of the war.
