Dear Bernard, Noticed in an earlier posting that you recommended David Howarth’s Day of Battle, and Jac Weller’s Wellington at Waterloo as good examples of non-fiction books on Waterloo. Have you read Iain Gale’s book on the subject, Four Days in June, and would you consider this a good example of an exciting and interesting read? Your own entry with Sharpe should also be included in the non-fiction category, although more maps would have helped. Can I put in a request for either Leeds or Bradford for your next book tour in October?

On a different subject, what do you think of Lesley Vainakola being allowed to play for England at Rugby Union. Best Wishes Steven
