5.0 out of 5 stars Does 5 Stars do this book Justice...?, 5 Sep 2005
By A Customer
This review is from: Sharpe's Sword: Richard Sharpe and the Salamanca Campaign, June and July 1812 (Paperback)
I picked up this book after reading all the sharpe books in chronicological order from Sharpe's tiger where we experience Private Sharpe in India, reading and learning how he foight to rise to Captain Richard Sharpe of the South Essex's Light Company. This book is absolutely brilliant, a great triumph for Bernard Cornwell(i recommend the Last Kingdom as well). We learn that shar[e becomes entangled in a world of spies and politics, his loving affar for the La Marqueasa and his bitter hatred for the renowned french spy Colonel Leroux his is threatening the entire of Britians spy network ranging from Paris to the coasts of Portugal. The book also contains Sharpe's near death (he was shot in the stomach, a near fatal wound) and once again we experience the private humour between Sharpe, Sergeant Harper (Sharpe's closest companion and friend) and Lieutenant Price (one of Sharpe's officers). I recommend this book to any Bernard Cornwell fan, no, any historucal fiction fan who is looking for a fantstic book to read. Deserves more than 5 stars!!

5.0 out of 5 stars A different Sharpe, 22 Oct 2008

(TOP 1000 REVIEWER)      
This review is from: Sharpe's Sword: Richard Sharpe and the Salamanca Campaign, June and July 1812 (Paperback)
I loved this book. It's a change of direction for Sharpe and shows a vunerable Sharpe, but that's why I liked it. I love the usual Sharpe formula, but after reading over 10 books of this series so far it was a nice change.

5.0 out of 5 stars One of the best in the series, 2 Oct 2007
By Didier (Ghent, Belgium) - See all my reviews
(TOP 500 REVIEWER)   
This review is from: Sharpe's Sword: Richard Sharpe and the Salamanca Campaign, June and July 1812 (Paperback)
In the summer of 1812 the British capture Salamanca with relative ease, but Sharpe sees both his commanding officer and a young ensign treacherously killed by a captured French officer. Sharpe vows to avenge them, and his personal vendetta turns out to be of the utmost military importance too, because this same French officer is after the life of one of Britain's most valuable spies in Spain.

Another classic Sharpe-novel, action-packed, and with one of the most desirable women Sharpe ever came across!
