A Memoir of the French War in Spain. Albert-Jean Miichel de Rocca

Rocca's memoir is an autobiographical text, a travel book, a war chronicle and a summary of customs. This work, written in 1814, is characterised by its incisive tone, it's sense of curiosity and its respect for the Spanish. With his brilliant style, Rocca not only offers the story of a military campaign, but also sharp observations about the country and its inhabitants during that period in history dominated by an unjust war.
