A fully illustrated exploration of the British fight against Junot’s forces occupying Portugal.On 2 August 1808 a British army of 14, 000 men began landing north of Lisbon under the command of Sir Arthur Wellesley, the future Duke of Wellington. They were coming to assist the Portuguese, Britain’s oldest ally, to liberate their country from its French occupiers. Within a month Wellesley was to win two victories over the French at the battles of Roli a and Vimeiro. General Andoche Junot, the French commander, was forced to surrender and evacuate Portugal.Alongside contemporary artwork and full-colour maps, Ren Chartrand examines the first of Wellesley’s string of victories in the Peninsular War.
