Napier's Peninsula War Vol. I- VI: History of the War in the Peninsula and in the South of France from the year 1807 to 1814 (1892) By W. F. P. Napier
 
A complete six-volume set of this detailed history of war in the Peninsula and in the South of France from the year 1807 to 1814. Six volumes. Written by General Sir William Francis Patrick Napier, a British soldier in the British Army and a military historian. Napier's History of the War in the Peninsula was a tremendously influential, if controversial, work. Napier had been actively involved in the campaigns, turning to history in peacetime, in part to refute Southey's account of Sir John Moore. Because of his obvious lack of impartiality, modern military historians treat the work with caution, but it remains widely read. Significant events include the departure of Napoleon to France, and Wellesley's return to Portugal as commander of the Anglo-Portuguese forces. Volume I contains ten plates, Volume II contains twelve plates, Volume III contains nine plates, Volume IV contains eleven plates, Volume V contains eleven plates, and Volume VI contains two plates. 
 
The 6x book set contains a few inscriptions and signatures.
