The famous tale of an infantryman's adventures in the Napoleonic Peninsular Wars. Separated from his unit, the Ninety-Fifth Foot, Dodd finds himself behind enemy lines defending a bridge against the French. This account of a brief period in the Peninsular Wars through Dodd's eyes is a straightforward look at war's terrible cost. It is also a story of the triumph of one man near-starvation over the challenges of combat.
