Personal Review: The Sharpe Companion: The Early Years by
Mark Adkin
This is in my opinion a must have for any Sharpe fan. It is perhaps the
best of its type I have ever seen. Historical novels are usually something I
enjoy, but having this volume really helps place the fictional charter into the
historical mix. This has for me given me a much better insight into the real
events of the time. The uniforms, equipment, the societal expectations --
the whole spectrum. Very intersting -- get it.
