Appartiene alle SerieAlexander Sheridan (book 4)
Cawnpore is retaken, but they have come too late to stop the slaughter--the relieving British soldiers can only stare at the ill-sited, poorly-defended entrenchment and shake their heads, wondering why. One of only two survivors, Colonel Alex Sheridan is numb. His wife and newborn son lie dead. But now he must join General Havelock's force of barely a thousand men as they fight their way through to the besieged garrison at Lucknow. Non sono state trovate descrizioni di biblioteche |

Alex has recovered from his wounds and is eager to join General Havelock’s small force as they fight their way through to the besieged garrison at Lucknow. Alex is put in charge of a volunteer group of men who, although they know how to ride horses, need to be trained into Calvary. There isn’t a lot of story to this book as the author kept faithfully to the facts known to describe how this force fought their way through to bring relief to the garrison who had been holding off the rebels for three months.
The author has an excellent knowledge of the times that she writes about. She vividly chronicles the events and actions taken by both sides. Her expertise is military history and she has written about the Napoleonic Wars, the Crimean war, and the Indian mutiny. She delivers her information in a concise yet easy-to-read style. There is one more book in this series which I will be reading in the near future. ( )
