Sharpe's Eagle
In the lead-up to the Battle of Talavera, General Wellesley sends Major Hogan, Richard Sharpe, the chosen men and the South Essex Regiment to destroy a bridge behind enemy lines. The South Essex is commanded by Sir Henry Simmerson, a well-connected vain incompetent buffoon. There is immediately conflict between Sharpe and Sir Henry and some of his junior officers. Things get worse when, at the bridge, the French attack. Written by grantss
