An Unforgettable Account of a Pivotal Military Campaign

The Lines of Torres Vedras were a series of fortifications constructed by the Portuguese and British armies to defend Lisbon from a French invasion during the Peninsular War. The lines stretched for over 30 miles and were defended by over 100,000 troops. The French army, under the command of Marshal André Masséna, attempted to break through the lines in 1810, but was unable to do so. The lines remained in place until the end of the war in 1814, and played a major role in the eventual defeat of Napoleon.

This book is a memoir written by a Napoleonic horseman who served in the campaign. He provides a firsthand account of the construction of the lines, the battles that were fought there, and the life of the soldiers who defended them. The memoir is full of vivid descriptions of the fighting, the hardships of camp life, and the camaraderie of the troops.

The Lines of Torres Vedras is an important historical document that provides a unique perspective on one of the most important military campaigns in history. It is also a gripping and immersive read that will appeal to anyone interested in military history, the Napoleonic Wars, or memoirs.
