The enemy and the frontier. The changes of the image of “the other”

Montes Maria Zozaya

   An analysis of a part of the Peninsular war that has been little studied, that of the Spanish prisoners in France, is here presented. Within the scope of a needed revision, how the image that some military engineers had of the French people (as friends) will be shown, which does not correspond to the official version (as enemies) normally accepted.

Keywords: history, the Peninsular war, Spanish prisoners.
