To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
Spain had always considered this city a most im- portant barrier against any attack through Portugal. A Moorish castle stood three hundred feet above the level of the plain.
Bastions and fortresses enwrapped the town. Even the Cathedral was bomb- proof. The Guadiana was crossed by a magnificent bridge, and on the farther shore the head of this bridge was strongly fortified.
Wellington's troops encamped to the i8o THE STORMING OF BADAJOZ east of the town. It was finally decided first to attack t...he bastion of Trinidad.
The French commander had strengthened all his defences, and by damming a stream had seriously obstructed Wellington's opera- tions. Parts of his force were confronted by an artificial lake two hundred yards in width.
The red coats of the English soldiers were now faded to the yellow brown of fox fur. All the military finery of the be- ginning of the century was tarnished and torn. But it was an exceedingly hard- bitten army, certain of its leaders, de- spising the enemy, full of ferocious desire for battle.
