Nothing is more \u003cbr\u003edramatic, but, most often, nothing is more complicated and obscure than the Spanish wars under \u003cbr\u003eNapoleon. M. Guillon's account of them in ten chapters is sober, clear and sufficiently detailed. If the author was unable \u003cbr\u003eto use the recent works of Commander Balagny and Lieutenant-Colonel Clerc, he fortunately \u003cbr\u003emade use of the monumental work of General Gómez de Arteche; above all, he drew great benefit from all the French \u003cbr\u003eand English memoirs relating to the Spanish campaigns. I particularly appreciated his judgments on \u003cbr\u003ethe conduct and consequences of the war. \"Ill-begun,\" said Napoleon; \"ill-begun and ill-conducted,\" \u003cbr\u003eI would reply with M.
