Dear Bernard
While Sharpe has been through a lot of the Peninsular War, there has been one exception, the East Coast campaigns against Suchet and I wondered if you were ever tempted to get Sharpe to one of those fights ?
Napoleon after the War declared that if he had, 2 Suchets, he not only would have conquered Spain but kept it, do you think that would have been true as of course Suchet never did fight Wellington.
Also with talk about a new TV series about the US Civil War focusing on Grant and Lee coming out soon. I thought I would (unfairly) put you on the spot, in your opinion with Grant or Lee who do you think was the better of the 2 generals ?
And do you think you will ever write about the Overland Campaign ?
Yours sincerely
Geraint
