The fate of the Iberian Peninsula was very much in the balance during the period January to September 1809; when it seemed all too possible that Napoleon would achieve control over Spain and Portugal. This volume covers the continuing Spanish resistance to French occupation; the renewed French invasion of Portugal; and the return to the Peninsula and subsequent victories of Sir Arthur Wellesley; including his outmanoeuvring of the French from Oporto and culminating in the hard-fought victory at Talavera.

Sorrow yet realizedBy stsspPrice's Weaponizing Anthropology is the most frightening short book that I have read since Foucault's Discipline and Punish or the more recently published papers from law Professor Fred H. Cate. I suspect that just as it has been with Foucault and Cate that I will return to Price's book again and again.Truly a brutal book which at once has nothing to do with Anthropology and at the same time has everything to do with it.This book gives a great deal but if you have any notion that this book is solely about some facet or even the state of Anthropology as a field of study then you are in for a most troubling awakening--for something is already afoot in our Universities and publicly funded colleges.Perhaps; the most important and timely book I have read in past year.1 of 1 people found the following review helpful. A Must ReadBy CustomerAn essential piece; in logically discerning the United States' fallacy of greatness. Price's book should be required reading in middle schools.3 of 4 people found the following review helpful. exposing secrecy in academiaBy mary hollowellThank you for revealing these growing and secretive PRISP programs on our university campuses. Covert PRISP scholars in our college classrooms sounds eerily reminiscent of the East German Stasi. Could this program have metastasized in the 9 years since its conception? Only courage and transparency can help us now as we speed down the slippery slope in the never ending "War on Terror."
