Reeves explores the challenges faced by Napoleon's forces during the Peninsular War. It analyzes the period between 1807 and 1810, where Napoleon's previously invincible forces suffered significant losses in Spain. The book examines the unique cultural and geographical factors in the Iberian Peninsula that contributed to the French army's difficulties, such as the strong influence of the Catholic Church and the distinct cultural identity of Spain. It also details the guerrilla warfare tactics employed by Spanish insurgents, supported by British and Portuguese forces, which caught the French off guard. The author aims to provide insights into the strategic and tactical errors made by French leadership and how these impacted Napoleon's broader empire. The intended audience includes military historians and enthusiasts interested in Napoleonic wars.$7Generated by AI. 606 $aPeninsular War, 1807-1814$xCampaigns 607 $aSpain$xHistory$yNapoleonic Conquest, 1808-1813 615 0$aPeninsular War, 1807-1814$xCampaigns. 700 $aReeves$b Mark A.$01829260 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910158802703321 996 $aThe Iberian leech$94398450 997 $aUNINA
