Title: Sharpe in India, part III
Product review: This is an excellent series of books on Richard Sharpe, the enlisted man raised to the officer rank after saving the life of the future Duke of Wellington. The reader follows Sharpe from his beginnings in India, through the Napoleonic campaigns to Waterloo, and then in South America at the time of the former Emperor's death. All of the works are detailed, and contain enough action to suit anyone. Since this is a series, and the current works take place before the Napoleon ones, there's no suspense about Sharpe's fate, since he so obviously survives to fight on another day. That doesn't detract from the sheer joy of reading them, however, for you will learn an awful lot about the British army of the early 19th century, not to mention geography, history, and flora and fauna about all of the countries in which our intrepid hero battles. Read these books; you'll be glad you did!
