Hello Mr. Cornwell,
I’ve recently finished your books about Sharpe and I have much enjoyed it. I usually read fantasy novel, so I was afraid of reading a story without swords clashing one another in battle, but I’ve learned that standing in line and being slaughtered by enemy bullets is just as much exciting. lol
But I have a few question, in your book we much about Lord Wellington genius in battle and how he defeated every single french marshal in the peninsula war and even Napoleon himself afterwards. But even so Napoleon is the one considered to be the military genius and all, here in Brasil we don’t even learn about Wellington in our history classes.
1) Do you think that Napoleon fame of genius has any foundation? Was Wellington actually better than him?

I’ve also much enjoyed seen Sharpe being a Colonel and commanding his battalion.
2) Do you plan on writing a Sharpe Story after Sharpe Devil in which he actually gets to command?

3) Do you plan writing a story in 20th century in the WW I, for example?
