Sharpe is serving on the personal staff of the Prince of Orange, who refuses to listen to Sharpes reports of an enormous army, led by Napoleon, marching towards them.The Battle of Waterloo commences and it seems as if Sharpe must stand by and watch the grandest scale of military folly. But at the height of battle, as victory seems impossible, Sharpe takes command and the most hard-fought and bloody battle of his career becomes his most magnificent triumph.Soldier, hero, rogue - Sharpe is the man you always want on your side. Born in poverty, he joined the army to escape jail and climbed the ranks by sheer brutal courage. He knows no other family than the regiment of the 95th Rifles whose green jacket he proudly wears. As to be expected from such a successful fiction author, Waterloo is an easy-to-read book whose narrative helps make sense of a very confusing battlefield. Cornwell does a great job of not only setting the strategic and operational stage, helping us understand Wellington, Blucher, and Napoleon, but also weaving in personal anecdotes of the soldiers who fought and died on the battlefield.Waterloo, as can be imagined in a battle its size, was confusing. Many accounts contradict each other or, at least, cant agree on the timing and sequence of events. Cornwell addresses many of the key disconnects and lays out what he believed happened all while telling a story. When its done you can begin to feel how the battle flowed, not in neat phases but as a series of often overlapping events played out over the battlefield. In this the storyteller comes to the fore because hes able to weave together a variety of multiple events, perspectives, and people in such a way that you see the whole and not the part. Its not just a story of the British or Prussian or French armies, or the common soldier, or the three great leaders. In the end its a story about how that all came together. In this Cornwell was able to rely on the original work of historians - Cornwells strength in this book is not original research, theres nothing new historically, but what makes his book worth reading is the way he painlessly tells the tale in a very understandable manner.If I had one complaint, and its a relatively small one, its that he switches between the past and present tenses in his writing, sometimes within the same paragraph. I think he periodically switched to the present tense to try to increase the immediacy of what he was describing, but, for me, it tended to interrupt the moment; rather than staying caught up in the story, it reminded me I was reading a book.If youre familiar with some of the post-war finger-pointing among the allies youll understand, after reading the book, Cornwells conclusion that, The battle of Waterloo was an allied victory. That was how it was planned and that was how it turned out. Wellington would never have made his stand if he thought for one moment that the Prussians would not let him down. Blucher would never have marched if he thought Wellington would cut and run.This is one of those books that I still recommend even if youre familiar with Waterloo. Cornwells ability to tell a story really pulls together the historical elements in a way that allows understanding.
