It would have been a stretch to make this "Sharpe's Waterloo". Cornwell does well to find a couple of key places to throw Sharpe into the action, helping hold a key redoubt, a walled farm, early in the day, and rallying one of three battered British units - another led by Wellington himself - to stand and hold against a superior French advance late in the day/5(). Waterloo does not have the grisly carnage of Pressfield's superb Gates of Fire. But it does bring home the horror of war in a way that makes the old movie version (with Rod Steiger as Napoleon and Christopher Plummer as Wellington) seem almost tame in comparison. The story of the battle – and Sharpe’s part in it. For some reason this was published in the US as, simply, Waterloo. There’s almost no plot in this book because there doesn’t need to be (though Sharpe does have to settle accounts with the man who poached his second wife).
