Dear Mr. Cornwell, I am a doctoral student in sociology, and SHARPE’S COMPANY was one of the inspirations for my thesis topic which is on suicide attack. However, I have struggled to find information on the forlorn hope. I have checked out Richard Holmes’ REDCOAT based on the FAQ archive. I was wondering if you could provide any other sources, or at least a place to look. By the way, I plan to read all of Sharpe as soon as my studies allow. Thank you. Sincerely, Steve
