How the Brigadier Saved the Army by Arthur Conan Doyle from The Adventures of Gerard AUDIO

Prepare to meet Manuelo the Smiler - a brigand from Portugal. Not to be confused with some of the Spanish brigands we've already met - you'll remember the one whose speciality was tying people to bendy trees. The Smiler has his own MO, sounds just a little bit different, and rules his banditti with a rod of iron.

The Brigadier is ready to make the ultimate sacrifice. Will he have to go through with it - and does the Smiler keep smiling right to the end?

Makes me want to read a good history of the Peninsular War(s). Any suggestions?

It's read as usual by Greg Wagland for Magpie Audio.
