Sharpe's Battle: The Battle of Fuentes de Onoro, May 1811 Paperback - 2013

by Bernard Cornwell

The "Washington Post" has hailed "Sharpe's Battle" as a book that "combines those strengths that have come to characterize Bernard Cornwell's fiction--immaculate historical reconstruction and the ability to tell a ripping yarn."


From the publisher

From New York Times bestselling author Bernard Cornwell, the twelth installment in the world-renownedSharpe series, chronicling the rise of Richard Sharpe, a Private in His Majesty's Army at the siege of Seringapatam.

Quartered in a crumbling Portuguese fort, Richard Sharpe and his men are attacked by an elite French unit, led by an old enemy of Sharpe's, and suffer heavy losses.

The army's high command blame Sharpe for the disaster and his military career seems to be ruined. His only hope is to redeem himself on the battlefield. So with his honour at stake, against an overwhelming number of French troops, Sharpe leads his men to battle in the narrow streets of Fuentes de Ooro.

First line

Sharpe swore. Then, in desperation, he turned the map upside down.

From the rear cover

Richard Sharpe

Soldier, hero, rogue--the man you always want on your side. Born in poverty, he joined the army to escape jail and climbed the ranks by sheer brutal courage. He knows no other family than the regiment of the 95th Rifles, whose green jacket he proudly wears.
