Death To The French By C.S.Forester

All books are second hand

It is 1810, and the last French invasion of Portugal has penned Wellington’s army behind the river Tagus with their backs to the sea.

Separated from his regiment, Rifleman Dodd of the Ninety-Fifth stumbles on a band of undisciplined Portuguese guerrillas. With rough inventiveness he transforms this ramshackle group into an organised fighting force, continually harrying the infuriated enemy as he battles his way back to his own lines.
