Rifleman Dodd is a historical novel written by C.S. Forester that is set during the Peninsular War, which was fought between the years 1807 and 1814. The story follows the adventures of a British rifleman named Matthew Dodd, who becomes separated from his unit during a retreat and is left to fend for himself behind enemy lines in Portugal.Dodd is a skilled and resourceful soldier, and he quickly adapts to the harsh conditions of guerrilla warfare. He befriends a group of Portuguese partisans who are fighting against the French, and together they launch a series of daring raids on enemy positions.As the war drags on, Dodd becomes increasingly isolated and desperate. He is forced to rely on his wits and his knowledge of the terrain to survive, and he faces a series of challenges and setbacks that test his courage and his determination.Despite the odds against him, Dodd never gives up. He remains committed to his mission and to his duty as a soldier, and he ultimately emerges victorious against the French.Rifleman Dodd is a classic tale of heroism and survival, and it offers a vivid and compelling portrait of the brutal realities of war in the early 19th century.This is a new release of the original 1943 edition.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
