Crit Based On Books Sharpe's Eagle (Sharpe #8)

This one is my absolute favorite Sharpe book so far. The "blowing up the bridge" scene that comprises the first 15-20% of the book is masterful. I particularly enjoyed the French cavalry applauding. This book is exciting, appealing, and very rewarding.There are so many parallels between life in the Regency British Army and modern corporate life that it's frightening.

I enjoyed this book very much. The book is concerning the life of a Captain in the English army. He is fighting for his honor and for the Eagle of the French army. This is a very cuvetted color. He is trying to keep his rank by stealing the Eagle because he had lost his color to the French in a previous battle.I recommend this book highly.Enjoy and Be Blessed.Diamond

A new British regiment, the South Essex commanded by the inept Sir Henry Simmerson arrives from England. Together with Sharpe, Harper and the Rifle Company they set off on a simple mission to blow up a bridge. Unfortunately, a French cavalry troupe is spotted, and, much to Sharpe's confusion, Simmerson tries to catch it with foot soldiers... Sharpe's Confusion soon turns into disbelieve and then to dismay as he sees the cavalry troupe route a regiment ten times their number. Adding insult to

I am reading the history of Richard Sharpe adventures in chronological, not publication order. This has a side effect of accentuating the uneven quality of some of the books, and the episodic nature of the saga, with some inconsistencies from one book to the next that do not bear too close a scrutiny.Sharpe's Eagle is my eighth book, but one of the first to be published. Cornwell is in a class of his own when it comes to actual battle scenes, and I have no complaint about the episode of the

The quintessential Richard Sharpe novel. Sharpe's Eagle is where so many of the familiar faces that recur throughout the series originally crop up. Most notably Sir Henry Simmerson...(Simmerson as so aptly played by actor Michael Cochrane in the tv series.)He's the snobbish, ineffectual British officer everyone loves to hate. With him arrives the utterly inexperienced South Essex regiment, which Sharpe is forced to batter into something like fighting shape or otherwise inevitably perish with

The first of many books about Richard Sharpe, a soldier in the Napoleonic Wars who works his way from private in the ranks up to officer. Sharpe is a terrific character - violent, but likeable. I fall in love with him every time. Sean Bean plays him in a TV mini-series based on the books. Good series, but the books are better.

Better than I thought.Bernard`s first & I can see the stuff of later novels in it.I prefer his Uhtred & Arthur novels but I like how Sharpe has a big Irish mate like Uhtred has a little Irish mate.Might even read more of his Sharpe`s someday.
