Review
Praise for Bernard Cornwell's Sharpe novels: 'Sharpe is a great creation' Daily Mirror 'Consistently exciting... these are wonderful novels' Stephen King 'What makes these books such a successful formula is the blend of action, well-researched historical setting, colourful characterization and a juicy sub-plot' The Times
For fans of Cornwell's military hero Richard Sharpe, this is an indispensable guide to the history and background of the places Sharpe has found himself over sixteen books. Each chapter devotes itself to a book, outlining the history of the battles in which he is embroiled, and detailed descriptions of all the characters involved, both real and fictional. And with black and white plates of celebrated battle scenes, and complete maps of every battle and skirmish involving our hero, Sharpe fans will be in their element. A complementary volume for any Sharpe library. (Kirkus UK)
