| Summary | "A History of the Peninsular War, Vol. 6, September 1, 1812-August 5, 1813" by Charles Oman is a historical account written in the early 20th century. This volume specifically focuses on key military events during the Peninsular War, including the Siege of Burgos, the retreat from Burgos, and the battle campaigns leading up to the conflict at Vittoria and in the Pyrenees. Oman’s in-depth analysis provides insights into the strategies employed by key figures, such as Wellington and his adversaries, painting a vivid picture of the challenges faced during these crucial military operations. At the start of the volume, the author outlines the significant events during 1812, emphasizing Wellington's strategic movements following his entry into Madrid. As he grapples with the formidable forces of his French opponents, particularly Clausel's Army of Portugal, Wellington's planning and anxieties are detailed. The narrative reveals the precariousness of the British position and the tactical decisions made to address multiple threats, setting the stage for the subsequent campaigns discussed throughout the book.
