The second book, chronologically, in the series about Sharpe. Well-written as was the first. I was reading the description of the start of the battle of Assaye and almost missed my bus stop!
Tactics are presented and Mr. Cornwell includes the thoughts as well as the actions of other characters. The battle is described in graphic terms--the butcher's bill was lengthy.
