Argentinian journalist Graciela Iglesias Rogers is a lecturer in Modern European and Latin American history at St Peter’s College, Oxford.
In British Liberators in the Age of Napoleon (Bloomsbury, £65) she unveils the role of British volunteers who fought for Spain in the Peninsular War against Napoleon. Although small in number, they played a surprisingly influential role in the conduct of war and in cultural life both in Britain and Spain.
