The French army had invaded and looted much of Portugal during their first 2 invasions of that country. To prevent a 3rd invasion, Wellington instructed the Allied army to build the Lines of Torres Vedras. Special guest Mark S. Thompson tells us about this formidable line of defenses and fortifications.
