I left a pursuit of a history degree years ago because it seemed that every book had a different spin on the facts. I was obsessed with George Custer…now thats a clear topic to study!!! The Sharpe’s books and your other series are as close as I want to get to history now. You have rekindled my interest in reading about history. I enjoy the photos you take of different destinations..like Assaye. Whenever I stop by the Little Big Horn battlefield now, I don’t go into the museum anymore. I just like standing out alone on a ridge and getting a sense of what it was like for the people of both sides for that day. Your books make me want to go stand on a lot of different ridges in Portugal, France and India. Thanks. Mark Duntemann
