Publisher's summary

FNH Audio presents a slightly abridged performance of this seventh and final volume of Charles Oman's military history classic. In this seventh volume, a detailed examination is made of the period from August 1813 to Aril 1814, the end of the war. This volume covers the Invasion of France, the capture of St Sebastian, and the battles of the Nivelle, The Nive, Othez and Toulouse.

This history, written many years after Napier's, draws its information from more firsthand accounts and corrects some of the more glaring mistakes and biases of Napier. Although this audiobook is slightly abridged, the only text removed is a small number of footnotes written entirely in French. All English text from the appendices and footnotes is present.

Volume one of this set is available under the title A History of the Peninsular War 1807-1809. Volume two of this set is available under the title A History of the Peninsular War Volume 2: January-September 1809. Volume three of this set is available under the title A History of the Peninsular War Volume 3: September 1809-December 1810. The fourth volume of the set is available under the title A History of the Peninsular War Volume 4: December 1810-December 1811. Volume five of this set is available under the title A History of the Peninsular War Volume 5: October 1811 to August 1812. Volume six of this set is available under the title A History of the Peninsular War Volume 6.

The final elements

You will probably only listen to this if you have already consumed Volumes 1-6. Be aware that one can get free pdf versions of all seven books on the internet. This is an advantage because this recording is missing half of a chapter (Section 43. Chapter 1). It was the only error that I found in the seven audible volumes.

The summary of the book: This is the final months of fighting in the Peninsular War as well as could be reconstructed in 1930. Like the other volumes, you can listen to it for the historical elements, the triumphs and folly of military engagements, and/or the political intrigue.

Herriot's reading is very good, but I wish he understood how to pronounce Spanish words
