Sharpe's Havoc : Richard Sharpe and the Campaign in Northern Portugal, Spring 1809

Rating:
Summary: Good as ever
Review: What Sharpe does is to give us a good story, and then makes it a good history lesson also. You either like them or do not not. After reading this one I then went back and reread all of the other ones just to make sure they were as good as I remember them to be. They give you an excellant idea of the French/British wars, and then for good measure they go back into India also. Sharpe and Wellington, along with Napolean are the constant characters. As those who know, Sharpe comes up from the ranks, from Private to an officer, which did not happen in England in a class society where everyone knew their place. Good war stories, good character studies, and good history. I just think that the series is wonderful, and this one is as good as any of them.

Read it, and then do your self a favor and order all of these series, and enjoy yourself.
