The Stumbling Colossus

Everett Rummage covers Spain's disastrous 1809 — the Patriot cause strong in spirit but strategically rudderless against French occupation. This is the Peninsular War from the Spanish side, which is unusual and valuable; most Napoleonic podcasts focus on Wellington's campaigns or Napoleon's own operations. At nearly an hour, there's proper room to unpack the strategic paralysis and factional leadership failures that plagued the Spanish resistance.

Rummage covers Spain's disastrous 1809 — the Patriot cause had popular will but lacked coherent military strategy to match it. This is the Peninsular War from the Spanish side, which most Anglophone treatments neglect in favour of Wellington, and Rummage does the command failures and organisational dysfunction justice. Nearly an hour of focused Napoleonic-era content.
