Ronald Fraser is the leading oral historian of twentieth-century Spain. He is the author of several books, including Blood of Spain and Tajos: The Story of a Village on the Costa del Sol.
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 <br><br> 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 <br><br> Fraser has breathed life into a historic era... The real protagonist of his work is the people and their tragedy. --Luis Ribot, El Mundo <br><br> 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
