Summary "Memoir of the Early Campaigns of the Duke of Wellington, in Portugal and Spain" by an officer employed in his army is a historical account written in the early 19th century. The book details the initial military efforts under the command of Sir Arthur Wellesley, later known as the Duke of Wellington, during the Peninsular War against French forces. It aims to provide an accurate recounting of the significant events and strategies of the British campaign in Portugal and Spain, which were pivotal in the fight for independence. The opening of the memoir introduces the author, who positions himself as a participant in the campaigns, emphasizing the importance of conveying the experiences and challenges faced during this tumultuous period. It outlines the circumstances leading up to British involvement in the Peninsular War, including the state of Portuguese resistance against French occupation and the initial strategies employed by Wellesley. Highlighting moments of bravery and critical decisions, the beginning chapters set the stage for a gripping historical narrative that reveals not only military maneuvers but also the spirit of resilience among the soldiers and local populations affected by the conflict.
