Combining military history with political and social history, the book delineates what we now call the cultural terrain of war.

Trade Review
"Charles Esdaile's account of Napoleonic Andaluc a is important not only for what it tells us about the failure of France in Spain but also because it throws great light on the dynamics of Napoleonic rule and on the nature of political culture during an important period of Europe's evolution."--Jeremy Black, author of The War of 1812 in the Age of Napoleon "Outpost of Empire sheds much new light on the goals and machinery of the French effort to expand their Empire into Andaluc a. In the process, it enriches our understanding of the meaning of the Empire for the French and, more importantly, for the development and evolution of the French imperial army. It will reward readers interested in the Peninsular War or the nature of military occupation generally." - Michigan War Studies Review
