4.0�toiles sur 5 A Story of Betrayal and Revenge, Juil 24 2008

Par	Toni Osborne "The Way I See It" (Montreal, Canada) - Voir tous mes commentaires (TOP 100 REVIEWER)

This review is from: Sharpes Triumph Battle Of Assaye September 1803 (Paperback)

The Battle of Assaye, September 1803

India 1803, Richard Sharpe surviving a murderous act of treason vows to hunt down the turncoat, a bitter English officer by the name of Major Dobb. Sir Arthur Wellesley with Richard Sharpe at his side enter into the fiercest battle of their career, the bloody battle of Assaye.

Sharpe's Triumph is a riveting story of betrayal and revenge. The description of the battles, the deployment of the troupes and their progress leave you with the horrific feeling of being there, hearing the thunder of the cannons, smelling the gun powder in the air, the swishing of swords and the eerie sounds of battle. The military encounters are well paced with enough details to immerse the reader into Sharpe's world, a blend of military adventure and historical details.

As main characters we have Sergeant Sharpe, a dramatic and trustworthy soldier and Sergeant Obediah Hakes who is continually conspiring against him. Arthur Wellesley with the help of his troupe is able to outmanoeuvre and outfight a much larger enemy.

On the other side as head of the mercenary forces is Anthony Pohlmann, a cheerful Hanoverian rogue, with Major William Dobb at his side equally determine to drive the British out of the continent.

We find a panoply of other factional and real characters throughout.

This second novel in the India Trilogy is a satisfying tale well worth reading.

5.0�toiles sur 5 Glory in the Midst of Bloody Battles and Duplicity, Nov. 7 2008

Par	Professor Donald Mitchell "Jesus Makes Me a P... (Boston) - Voir tous mes commentaires (#1 REVIEWER)

This review is from: Sharpes Triumph Battle Of Assaye September 1803 (Paperback)

If you haven't yet read Sharpe's Tiger, I recommend that you begin your reading of this exciting series with that book. The characters and story in Sharpe's Triumph will make more sense that way.

If you liked Sharpe's Tiger, you will probably enjoy Sharpe's Triumph even more. The story here is more historically accurate, the various battles are brilliantly described, and readers will find it easier to identify with Sharpe as the hero of the story.

As the book opens, Sergeant Sharpe has been sent to pick up some ammunition . . . a seemingly dull assignment that soon becomes quite meaningful. There's a rogue lieutenant from the British East India Company who has a bounty on his head, and Sharpe is soon drawn into the search for Lieutenant Dodd and the sepoys he took with him.

In the background, Sharpe has been enjoying a leisurely four years since he earned his sergeant's stripes in Sharpe's Tiger. The cushion that his wealth has brought is about to become a curse, however.

In the search for Dodd, Sharpe is presented with the opportunity to better his station in life, meets a new love interest, and has some hard choices to make.

The high point of the story comes in the detailed recounting of the Battle of Assaye which was important to defeating the Indian forces and helped establish the reputation of Sir Arthur Wellesley (later the Duke of Wellington).

Those who don't want to read about the bloody side of war would do well to avoid this book.

5.0�toiles sur 5 Sergeant Sharpe and India in 1803., Oct. 20 2003

Par	Michael Valdivielso (Alexandria, VA) - Voir tous mes commentaires

This review is from: Sharpes Triumph (Paperback)

The Indian Mahratta Confederation is doing everything it can to drive the British from India, including hiring European officers to train and command its forces on the battlefield. Against them stands General Sir Arthur Wellesley and his forces, a mixture of English Redcoats, Scottish Highlanders and native troops. Richard Sharpe is sent into the storm to hunt down a britter English officer who has joined the forces of the Confederation. Toss in the colorful language, the vivid details of army live, the politics and the twirling chaos of combat and the result is a bloody story of adventure and greed (for gold and rank). Great stuff!
