Dear Mr Cornwell. As a historian I would like to ask some advice from the author that inspired my coursework. Here is the question “War has been the great engine of technological advance.” Disuss with reference to the history of any period you have studied. I’m going to study the period featured in the Sharpe books roughly 1795-1815 and wanted some advice about sources as I’m having some difficulty in researching technologly from that period particularly some of the weapons featured in the books. I have tired the local libraiy and found nothig very useful and the internet doesn’t seem to be helping either. I have also checked coursework instructions carefully and advice for coursework is allowed even from a great. Yours Sincerely, Willliam Bray P.s I think your books are wonderful and gripping!
