Notes: General Sir William Francis Patrick Napier KCB (1785-1860) was a British General and historian who served in the Napoleonic Wars, in particular the Peninsular War which was a military conflict between Napoleon's empire and the allied powers of Spain, Britain and Portugal, for control of the Iberian Peninsula. The six volumes are Napier's personal account of this war.
