| | For those unacquainted with Richard Sharpe's adventures Sharpe's Tiger: Richard Sharpe and the Siege of Serringapatam, 1799 is the one to read first, followed by Sharpe's Triumph: Richard Sharpe and the Battle of Assaye, September 1803 and Sharpe's Fortress: Richard Sharpe and the Siege of Gawilghur, December 1803. |
| | REVIEW BY DERRICK M. In his latest Sharpe adventure, author Bernard Cornwell has done for land battles what C. Forrester, in the Horatio Hornblower series, did for sea battles, giving a starkly visual description of the Battle of Trafalgar. |
