Memoirs of the War in Spain, from 1808 to 1814; Volume 1

More about the book

The Memoirs of marshal Suchet reflect his own insights as much as the campaigns he narrates. His enjoyment in writing stemmed from a blend of personal reflection and the comforts of domestic life, even during his last illness. Conversations with close friends provided a faithful commentary on his work, guiding him in final revisions that primarily involved condensing rather than expanding the content. This meticulous process required significant time for verifying accuracy in figures and dates, drafting statements, and appending notes or documents to clarify and enhance the text. Forgotten Books, the publisher, is dedicated to reproducing important historical works, employing advanced technology to digitally reconstruct texts while maintaining their original format. They strive to repair imperfections found in aged copies, though some may remain to preserve the integrity of these historical documents.
