Sharpe's Skirmish Richard Sharpe and the Defence of the Tormes, August 1812 by Cornwell, Bernard Format: PaperbackPublished by Sharpe Appreciation Society, 2002 "It is the summer of 1812 and Richard Sharpe, newly recovered from the wound he received in the fighting at Salamanca, is given an easy duty; to guard a Commissary Officer posted to an obscure Spanish fort where there are some captured French muskets to repair. But unknown to the British, the French are planning a lightning raid across the River Tormes, and they reckon the obscure Spanish fort, which guards an ancient bridge across the river, will be lightly guarded. Sharpe is in for a fight."--Page 4 of coverProduct image is for illustration purposes only and may not be an exact representation of the product offered for sale.
