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 o f 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. Show more
