"A History of the Peninsular War, Vol. 3, Sep. 1809-Dec. 1810: Ocaña, Cadiz, Bussaco, Torres Vedras" by Sir Charles Oman is a historical work published in 1908. This volume continues Oman's definitive seven-volume account of the Peninsular War, covering critical months when multiple armies clashed across the Iberian Peninsula.

His narrative focuses on human actors rather than abstract units, countering earlier biased accounts while revealing the complex warfare that shaped this pivotal conflict.
