Review Quotes: "Fraser has re-created a world, barely glimpsed by previous historians, of the Spanish popular resistance and suffering during the anti-Napoleonic war ... An excellent work."--Carlos Martinez Shaw, El Pais

"Napoleon's Cursed War marks a fundamental milestone in the war's historiography, both past and future. It is a superb complement to Fraser's classic Blood of Spain, of 'history from below.'"--Ricardo Garcia Carcel, ABC

"Fraser has breathed life into a historic era... The real protagonist of his work is the people and their tragedy."--Luis Ribot, El Mundo

"Like Goya in The Disasters of War, Fraser has engraved in the written word the spirit and sacrifices of the popular anti-Napoleonic resistance, a precursor of the anti-fascist resistance of the [Spanish] Civil War."--Andreu Mayayo, El Periodico de Catalunya
