Historia del levantamiento, guerra y revolución de España (4 de 5)

A vivid chronicle of the tumultuous years when Spain became a battlefield, this volume immerses listeners in the strategic reshuffling of armies that defined the Peninsular War. It follows the swift movements of French marshals and their British adversaries across Portugal, Andalusia, and Extremadura, detailing sieges such as Badajoz and the fierce encounters at Olivenza. The narrative captures the tension of retreats, the clash of commanders, and the desperate efforts of local forces to reorganize under a new military district system.

Beyond the marching columns, the work brings to life the political undercurrents that swirled through courts and parliaments, as allied leaders negotiate command and civilians endure bombardments. Listeners will hear the stark contrast between disciplined maneuvers and the chaotic havoc left in their wake, offering a balanced portrait of both high‑command decisions and the gritty reality of soldiers on the front. The account sets the stage for the larger struggle that would reshape the Iberian Peninsula.
