Sharpe's Escape: The Bussaco Campaign, 1810 by Bernard Cornwell
3.0
Another rollicking good read about Sharpe and the Peninsular War.
Fast paced, as usual, and full of action. Bussaco is a battle I dont remember learing about, although I do remember 'The lines of Torres Vedras' from my O level history classes.
Cornwell always manages to embue his stories with a real sense of historical accuracy, even though Sharpe himself is perhaps a bit too lucky to escape so many deadly situations! But if he didn't there wouldn't be any more great Sharpe novels would there!
