Book Description Hardcover. Condition: Good. Dust Jacket Condition: Very Good. Ian Robertson (illustrator). Ex-library reprint states "First published 1983 / This reprint published 1993." There are rough patches to front endpapers where attachments may have been removed, but at this point the only remaining library marking is a "West Sussex Libraries" rubber stamp to the copyright page. NO edge stampings. Spine slanted half an inch (1 cm.) Pages "good" but not pristine. The "very good" dust jacket -- with quite a different and more dynamic illustration than the earlier printings -- could grade "near fine" but for two tiny chips to bottom of spine. Not price clipped -- original L14.99 price showing. Horizontal cover art appears to be signed "GD" but is otherwise uncredited. Told that the French were extending their left, south of Salamanca, did Wellington actually toss the drumstick he'd been eating, exclaim "The devil they are! Give me a glass!" and quickly order the attack that defeated 40,000 Frenchmen in 40 minutes? Historians quibble, but author Cornwell does not. Fourth and hardest to find of the Richard Sharpe adventures of Wellington's peninsular war. Sean Bean starred in the British TV series, which originally aired 1993 to 1997. Totals 319 pp. Reduced from $200. Seller Inventory # 008847
