Sharpe’s Fortress (Sharpe #3) by Bernard Cornwell

Description

Bernard Cornwell’s Sharpe’s Fortress  marks Richard Sharpe’s explosive, unforgettable, final adventure in India.

Surviving the infamous battle of Assaye, Richard Sharpe has been promoted for his gallantry and skill assisting Sir Arthur Wellesley the future Duke of Wellington in overcoming the rebellious Mahratta confederation. But though the war with the Mahratta seems near its end, Sharpe, now an officer in Wellesley’s army, faces a battle of a different kind among his own ranks. Uncomfortable with his newfound authority and unwelcoming colleagues, Sharpe is relegated to the tedium of baggage duty.
