Sharpes Regiment: Richard Sharpe & the Invasion of France, June to November 1813 (Richard Sharpes Adventure Series #17)
by Bernard Cornwell
Category: Great Britain

Major Richard Sharpe's men are in danger, not from the French, but from the bureaucrats of Whitehall. Unless reinforcements are brought from England, the depleted South Essex will be disbanded and the men scattered throughout the army. Determined not to see his regiment die, Sharpe returns to England and uncovers a nest of wellbred high ranking traitors, any one of whom could destroy him with a word or stroke of the pen.
