Explore one of the most brutal and strategically significant campaigns of the Napoleonic Wars with The Spanish Ulcer by David Gates. This 1986 First American Edition hardcover, published by W. W. Norton & Company, offers a balanced and gripping history of the Peninsular War (18081814), a conflict that Napoleon himself bitterly referred to as his Spanish Ulcer.
Drawing from French, Spanish, and British sources, Gates delivers a vivid account of this bitterly contested war that drained Napoleons resources and helped pave the way for his ultimate defeat at Waterloo. The book examines the roles of key figures like the Duke of Wellington and the guerrilla fighters of Spain, while also giving attention to the logistical nightmares, battlefield tactics, and broader political consequences of the conflict.
