Description

Captain Sir William Calvert Bt. has been entrusted with a crucial mission by the British Admiralty. A schooner built in America is now patrolling the treacherous North Coast of Spain, and Calvert's expertise is required to oversee its operations. He is promoted to Commodore for this assignment and tasked with exploring the West Coast of Portugal in search of a safe haven for troops. His involvement extends to serving under General Sir Arthur Wellesley, where he witnesses pivotal battles such as Roliça and Vimiero. Calvert's role then shifts to supporting the British retreat from Northern Spain, specifically focusing on arming local guerrillas. This gripping historical account chronicles Calvert's experiences during a tumultuous period in European history, offering a unique perspective on the events that shaped the region.
