Thread: Napoleans great mistake, the peninsula war

And interesting video . I've read all of bernard cornwell books , watched all of the Sharpe series produced from the books likewise read most of the books and watched most of the series of the same year era by different authors about the fictional tall Ship heroes such is Hornblower and Bolitho. Gr8 stuff. Cheers

Love Sharpe's war. And Hornblower. Master and Commander was probably one of the most accurate period pieces filmed, even though it was an amalgam of two books.

Sharpe , although a fictional character, was the kind of Officer that earned respect. Where he went , men would follow. Not many like that in real life. Love the banter.

Cooper

:Can I ask you a question, sir? Where'd you learn to fight so dirty, sir?

Richard Sharpe

:Same place as you, Cooper. Saturday night in the gutters.

Cooper

:Long way from home, sir.

Richard Sharpe

:Never was much of a home, Cooper.

Cooper

:No, sir. That it weren't.

Richard Sharpe

id you volunteer for this lot, Cooper?

Cooper

:Uh no, not exactly sir. I was invited to join... by a magistrate.

You've done me a good turn Sharpe. Now I'm going to do you a damn bad one. Then makes him up from the ranks. Classic. The books start Richard's life before the TV series.

Cheers
