In October 1810 the Allied position in Portugal appeared precarious. Despite defeating Marshal Masséna's French army at Bussaco, Wellington had been forced to retreat to within a few miles of Lisbon. Here the French encountered a massive line of fortifications stretching from the River Tagus to the sea. Built amid great secrecy and on Wellington's specific orders, these Lines of Torres Vedras were the French high-water mark. In February, with his army on the point of starvation, Masséna was forced to retreat and the scene was set for the climactic action of Fuentes de Oñoro.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Osprey Publishing (UK)","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":45083865022615,"sku":"9781841763118","price":420.0,"currency_code":"INR","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0666\/3471\/1191\/files\/9781841763118.webp?v=1767636196","url":"https:\/\/atlanticbooks.com\/products\/fuentes-de-onoro-1811-wellingtons-liberation-of-portugal-9781841763118","provider":"Atlantic Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
