Sir Charles Oman's monumental study is unquestionably the most complete and readable account of the Peninsular War ever written; it is also breathtaking in its scope and detail. The seven volumes chart the course of the war; from its opening shots In 1807; to the final expulsion of the French from Spain and invasion of France in 1814.

For A World Without Borders!By wildflowerboyIn "Undoing Border Imperialism"; South Asian activist Harsha Walia and over twenty other migrant justice activists explore the complicated intersections between decolonization; anti-capitalism; gender liberation; First Nations sovereignty; anti-imperialism; disability justice; and ecological sustainability. Focusing on the issues of working-class racialized immigrants in North America; particularly Canada; this exciting new book importantly interconnects the struggles for indigenous self-determination with the struggles of undocumented immigrants against the military-surveillance-prison-industrial-complex. Infusing Third Wave feminism with radical queer theory; this anthology furthermore tackles the problems of homonationalism and Western feminisms that essentialize communities of color as inherently heterosexist; transphobic; and patriarchal; thus deconstructing the pervasive neoliberal Western narratives which right-wing politicians and the capitalist media use to justify military interventions and corporate globalization. Given the current context of heightened Islamophobia; rampant militarism; white supremacy; climate chaos; economic inequality; settler colonialism; and heteropatriarchy; immigrants of color and indigenous peoples are more vulnerable than ever. As such; this book is a wake up call for the radical left to unite in solidarity with oppressed people around the world to tear down the borders that keep us divided and defeated. With beautiful illustrations by Melanie Cervantes of the Justseeds Artists' Cooperative; "Undoing Border Imperialism" is another excellent contribution to the Anarchist Intervention Series co-published by AK Press and the Institute For Anarchist Studies. I strongly recommend this book.
