Sir Charles Oman's History of the Peninsular War Volume I
The first part of Sir Charles Oman's classic history provides the background to the war and its origins, and covers the early stages of the conflict.
Oman's Atlas of the Peninsular War
A full assembly, of all 98 colour maps and plans (+ 7 in B&W) from Sir Charles Oman's History of the Peninsular War. The maps are in chronological in order and include the famous such as "Ciudad Rodrigo" & "Badajoz" and the not so famous as "Battle of Espinosa. November 11, 1818." The maps are full size, and faithful to the original cartography in all respects, allowing the reader to follow the War and its Battles, Campaigns and Skirmishes, as the fighting and it's various phases developed month by month and year by year. This is a very impressive map collection that should be part of every serious Napoleonic scholar's collection.
The Art of War in the Middle Ages
This history of medieval warfare, originally written in 1885 when its author—later one of the great medievalists—was still an undergraduate at Oxford, remains for students and general readers one of the best accounts of military art in the Middle Ages between Adrianople in 378 A.D. (the most fearful defeat suffered by a Roman army since Cannae in 216 B.C.) and Marignano (1515 A.D.), the last of the triumphs of the medieval horseman. It was extensively revised and edited by John H. Beeler in 1953 to incorporate many new facts uncovered since the late nineteenth century.

A History of the Peninsular War
This complementary volume to Sir Charles Oman's monumental, seven-volume study of the Peninsular War is a comprehensive guide to the more than 3,000 officers in British, Portuguese, and Spanish service killed or wounded during the campaign. This book draws on data from service records, official dispatches, casualty rolls, medal lists, pension lists, the London Gazette, and additional sources. It provides astonishing insight into the history of the British Army from the point of view of the individual. Entries include officers' service histories, medals or awards; the place, date, and cause of death or nature of wound; subsequent career details; and additional campaign material. Information drawn from memoirs, diaries, and dispatches is also quoted and make this a very readable and human study.
