		I don’t want to give away the book’s ending, except to say that the fortress of Gawilghur was reckoned to be impregnable, and the assaulting British forces were certainly in an enormous amount of trouble when Captain Campbell found a short-cut that ended the siege in a wonderfully dramatic manner.
		Sharpe, of course, has to be the hero, so he shamelessly steals Campbell’s thunder, for which I hope Campbell’s ghost will forgive him.
		The whole book is so focussed on the fortress at Gawilghur that it almost becomes a character in its own right.

		Sharpe's first story as an officer takes him to the daunting fort of Gawilghur.
		Sir Arthur Wellesley (the future Duke of Wellington) was never at his shining best when he had to lay siege to great fortresses, and few are greater than Gawilghur up on its vast cliff over the Deccan Plain.
		In the end the fortress fell to the extraordinary gallantry of some Scottish soldiers and I fear Sharpe muscles in on their achievement.
