About This Book
Two boys from Eton venture off to combat in this narrative of the Peninsular War. Join them on the Douro River, on the lines of Torres Vedras, and in the siege of the Badajos as they dodge danger in this stimulating account of the early nineteenth century.Remembering that in his own youth “books contained a very small share of amusement and a very large share of instruction,” Henty prides himself on writing historical fiction that is as captivating as it is informative.
