Sharpe’s Tiger is another excellent book from Bernard Cornwell in his Sharpe series.
This book follows our hero, Richard Sharpe and the British Army on their conquest of India. Along with a well written sub-plot (Sharpe’s lovelife and ambitions), this book takes us through the siege at Seringapatam, and Sharpe’s own personal battle against his nemesis, Hawkeswill.
All Bernard Cornwell’s book are well written and researched, and the historical note at the end of each book helps the reader to imagine these places. The tale of life in the British Army during the 18th century and the battles fought, bring the pages of history to life. A must read for avid Sharpe fan, or those more historically inclined.
