Sharpe's Eagle: Richard Sharpe and the Talavera Campaign July 1809 by Bernard Cornwell
3.0
I read a Sharpe novel years and years ago (maybe Sharpe’s Tiger?) but I picked this up on a whim at the library. While listed as #8, it is actually the first one published as Cornwall bounced around the fictional characters timeline.
This is a non nonsense, brusque tale of Sharpe’s battle against the prejudice of the aristocracy in the officer corps, his own anger and frustration with his station, the incompetence of his Spanish Allie’s and of course, the conquering French army.
