Sharpe's Waterloo is one of the most celebrated instalments in Bernard Cornwell's bestselling Richard Sharpe series. Set against the dramatic events of the Battle of Waterloo in June 1815, this gripping historical adventure brings together military strategy, battlefield action and unforgettable characters during one of Europe's most decisive conflicts.

Book Overview

June 1815. Napoleon Bonaparte has returned to power and his French army is marching towards Brussels. The British and their allies are gathering under the command of the Duke of Wellington, preparing for the confrontation that will determine the future of Europe.

Richard Sharpe finds himself caught in the middle of the unfolding crisis. With the inexperienced Prince of Orange commanding Wellington's Dutch troops, Sharpe must navigate political rivalries, military incompetence and the growing threat of the French advance.

As the armies converge, Sharpe faces the brutal reality of war and the enormous challenges of the Waterloo campaign.

With the fate of Europe hanging in the balance, courage, experience and battlefield instinct may prove more valuable than rank or reputation.
