it was amazing

Read this book in 2005, and its the 12th volume, in chronological order, of the great Richard Sharpe series.

The book is set later in the spring of the year AD 1811, and Richard Sharpe was once again in full action.

This time Sharpe and his riflemen is in command of the Irish Company of the exiled King of Spain household guards.

With this little force, a small part of the total British forces, they will be engaged in one of the bitterest battles of this Peninsular War.

What is follow is a thrilling tale of severe fighting, slaughter and death, while cunning and wit will also come into play when fighting the French in an all out battle for survival.

Highly recommended, for this is a very entertaining addition to this superb series, and that's why I like to call this book: "A Brilliant Sharpe Battle"!
