Sharpes Company by Bernard Cornwell
World War I buffs, German-Americans, and students of German history-especially World War I history-will love this collection of stories that focus on German life during and immediately after the war. The stories also extend to author Peter Canton's journey to America with his family as a young immigrant and the rocky reception he receives in an America for which the war is still an open wound and Germans are not easily forgiven. Of Two Worlds reveals that Peter -Pedro- Canton is a very complex man. This is no surprise since he came of age among the shadows of war-torn Germany. His story unfolds with many paradoxes and contradictions as he escapes the turmoil of war for a new life in America. Especially remarkable is that he has lived with overwhelming optimism and a zest for life.‘Sharpe and his creator are national treasures' Sunday Telegraph
'Bernard Cornwell is a literary miracle. Year after year, hail, rain, snow, war and political upheavals fail to prevent him from producing the most entertaining and readable historical novels of his generation.' Daily Mail
'Cornwell's narration is quite masterly and supremely well-researched.' Observer
‘The best battle scenes of any writer I’ve ever read, past or present. Cornwell really makes history come alive.’ George R.R. Martin

In addition to the hugely successful Sharpe novels, Bernard Cornwell is the author of the Starbuck Chronicles, the Warlord trilogy, the Grail Quest series, the Alfred series and standalone battle books Azincourt and The Fort.
