From New York Times bestselling author Bernard Cornwell, now
available in paperback--bestselling historical novelist Bernard Cornwell
brings life to one of the most spectacular naval battles in history with
SHARPE'S TRAFALGAR.
"The greatest writer of historical adventures today."
--Washington Post
Critically acclaimed, perennial New York Times bestselling author
Bernard Cornwell (Agincourt, The Fort, the Saxon Tales) makes real
history come alive in his breathtaking historical fiction. Praised as
"the direct heir to Patrick O'Brian" (Agincourt, The Fort), Cornwell
has brilliantly captured the fury, chaos, and excitement of battle as
few writers have ever done--perhaps most vividly in his phenomenally
popular novels following the illustrious military career of British Army
officer Richard Sharpe during the late 18th and early 19th centuries.
Chronicling Sharpe's involvement in the famous Battle of Trafalgar in
1805, Sharpe's Trafalgar finds the young ensign captive on a French
warship and in gravest peril on the eve of the one of the most
spectacular naval confrontations in history. Perhaps the San Francisco
Chronicle said it best: "If only all history lessons could be as
vibrant."
