The war on the Iberian Peninsula in the late 18th and early 19th century was three-pronged:  the French invaders, the invaded  Spain and Portugal and the English who defeated (mostly) the invader. But, though most English accounts see the conflict as a series of battles between the French and the English it was a war of independence for the Spanish and Portuguese which had far reaching repercussions outside of the Peninsula; " . notably the liberation of South America from foreign domination. Drawing upon contemporary documents and eyewitness accounts, Jan Reid's book sets the conflict in its wider historical context and pay special attention to the activities of the gorillas  who stay-to-day attacks on invader inflicted a terrible toll on the French and it is much to achieve ultimate victory as the more spectacular victories of Wellington."  from the front fold over panel blurb.
