Hardcover. Condition: Fine. Dust Jacket Condition: Fine. 1st Edition. Hardcover. Condition: Fine. Dust Jacket Condition: Fine. 1st Edition. First edition, first impression. Appears unread , not price clipped (£12.95), no inscriptions, internally clean tight and square, a lovely copy. 378pp. Protective mylar cover on jacket. This exceptional collector quality copy has been stored in protective mylar, behind glass, in a basement room. It is part of my personal collection and I hope the new owner gets as much pleasure from being its custodian as I have. It is 1815. Sharpe is serving on the personal staff of the Prince of Orange, who refuses to listen to Sharpe¿s 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. Quite a scarce early Sharpe novel. Seller Inventory # 000206
