A History of the Peninsular War 1809 Volume 2
Publisher: Felbrigg Herriot
FNH Audio presents a slightly abridged reading of this second volume of Charles Oman's military history classic.
In this second volume, a detailed examination is made of the months January to September of 1809. The Talavera campaign is examined from both sides, using reference materials from British, French, Spanish and Portuguese sources. This book covers the entire Talavera campaign, from its inception right through to the near-starved retreat of the victors from the field.
This history, written many years after Napier's, draws its information from more first-hand accounts and corrects some of the more glaring mistakes and biases of Napier.
Although this audio book is abridged, the only text removed is that in French, namely Appendix 9 and a number of footnotes scattered throughout the book. All English text from the appendices and footnotes is present.
Running Time: 26 hours 59 minutes
