On the 27th September 1810, British and Portuguese forces under the command of the Duke of Wellington defeated a French army under Marshal Massena. Dr Graeme Callister joins us for this latest instalment of our Peninsular War saga to talk through how Wellington&#39;s men fended off French attacks, discuss whether this was a battle that Wellington couldn&#39;t lose, and what this meant for the wider context of the Peninsular War.Buy Graeme&#39;s books:<a href="https://www.pen-and-sword.co.uk/Dr-Graeme-Callister/a/4546" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">https://www.pen-and-sword.co.uk/Dr-Graeme-Callister/a/4546</a><a href="https://www.helion.co.uk/people/graeme-callister.php" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">https://www.helion.co.uk/people/graeme-callister.php</a>Support the show: <a href="https://www.patreon.com/c/thenapoleonicwarspod" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferer">https://www.patreon.com/c/thenapoleonicwarspod</a>
