But Sharpe’s warning cannot stop the tide of battle, and the British suffer heavy losses on the road to Waterloo. Wellington has few reserves of men and ammunition; the Prussian army has not arrived; and the French advance wields tremendous firepower and determination. Victory seems impossible.In this culmination of Richard Sharpe’s long and arduous career, Bernard Cornwell brings to life all the horror and exhilaration of one of the greatest military triumphs of all time.
