As he plans his escape, his thoughts return to the year 1812 when he was a cornet in Wellington's Peninsular Army . He and the Sixth had survived Corunna to endure three more years of brutal fighting that would culminate in one of the most vital and vicious confrontations of the campaign - the siege of Badajoz. While Hervey paces his prison cell, and re-lives the bloodshed of battles past, friends from unexpected quarters rush to his aid... An Act of Courage is the seventh book in Allan Mallinson's Matthew Hervey series. His adventures continue in Company of Spears . Have you read his previous adventures A Close Run Thing, The Nizam's Daughters , A Regimental Affair, A Call to Arms, The Sabre's Edge and Rumours of War ?
