One of the soldiers, builders of the empire, a man who participated in all the wars that England waged at that time, was sharpshooter Sharpe. In Sharpe's novel The Gunslinger Sharpe, the hero's party will be surrounded by French troops winning successive victories in the Iberian Peninsula. Spanish cavalrymen will help to avoid the shameful captivity of Sharpe. But you have to pay for everything, and Sharpe will have to take part in a suicidal attempt to free the sacred city of Santiago de Compostela for the Spaniards. B. Cornwell's novels about Arrow Sharpe became bestsellers on both sides of the Atlantic. Some criminals are definitely lucky.
