About this book
As if being cut off from the army and surrounded by enemy cavalry is not bad enough, this officer who in the eyes of his society does not belong to his rank, Richard Sharpe has to deal with mutinous soldiers as well! It is only when he meets with a band of partisans that things become tolerable at best. Bolstered by his new allies and with his country having no faith in eventually winning against Napoleon in the peninsular war, 1807-1814, Sharpe and his elite riflemen with the partisans help plan an ambitious mission to give Spain hope and snatch victory from disaster, which is borderline crazy but could work.. If you believe in superstition.
