Does anybody have PDF copies of the later volumes of Alphonse Grasset's La guerre d'Espagne 1807-1813? I've got volume 1 and 2, and they are very good and well referenced, but can't find volume 3 onwards as PDFs. They have been reproduced as hard copy but those wouldn't be as easy for me to work with.
any links for those volume you have?
Thinking about it, the subsequent volumes may have been published after the FWW so may not meet the 100 year old criteria for free downloads.
But seemingly there exist cheap re prints printed from a pdf file
Seems that it once was available on Gallica but removed, those links are not working any longer
what did happen?
The other frustrating thing is that only the first three volumes were ever published, as far as I can tell. They cover from October 1807 to July 1808 in incredible detail. If he had finished the series they would be a resource to rival Oman.
I agree, the problem was WW1 which ended all those historical sections of the general staffs.
I managed to download a copy back in 2018. File size is fairly large (74.6kb). http://www.mediafire.com/file/i0937clnfgtucc5/La_guerre_d%2527Espagne_%25281807-1813%2529_Tome_%255B...%255DGrasset_Alphonse_bpt6k6472756h.pdf/file
Thanks!
There Grasset died in 1952 -it may be that the BN had to take those books out for download for copyright issue.
