Dear Bernard, I have an idea in my head for a novel set during the South American Wars of Independence but not sure which books would be a good place to start for research. Could you recommend any that you may have used when writing Sharpe’s Devil? And what do you know of Britain’s position on it, particularly in the early years when Wellington was in Spain? Were Britain supportive of San Martin, Bolivar and O’Higgins or supporting Spain?
