  In 1808, Napoleon Bonaparte treacherously outmaneuvered the corrupt Spanish Bourbons and installed his brother Joseph as King of Spain, igniting the flames of war across the Iberian Peninsula. This book traces the military events of the Independence period and focuses on the leaders, men, and battles that reshaped the hemisphere.
