| Summary | "History of the War in the Peninsula and in the South of France" by W. F. P. Napier is an extensive historical account written in the early 19th century. This five-volume work chronicles the military campaigns during the Peninsular War from 1807 to 1814, specifically highlighting the nature of warfare, strategic developments, and political contexts involved. The narrative primarily focuses on the actions of key military figures such as the Duke of Wellington, presenting a detailed analysis of various battles and decisions that shaped the conflict. The opening of the volume provides a transcriber’s note on formatting and presentation styles, emphasizing that it is part of a prolonged series dedicated to the subject. It briefly introduces the importance of proper historical documentation, responding to critiques aimed at Napier’s previous volumes. The beginning establishes a structured approach to the war’s history, with an overview of the political climate and military strategies, while referencing engagements in different regions of Spain and Portugal. Overall, this initial portion prepares the reader for an in-depth exploration of Napier's meticulous examination of military history and engagements throughout this turbulent period.
