Lieutenant-Colonel Sharpe sidelined on the Royal staff magnificently siezes command at the final moment of the great victory. It is 1815. Sharpe is serving on the personal staff of the Prince of Orange who refuses to listen to Sharpes reports of an enormous army led by Napoleon marching towards them. The Battle of Waterloo commences & it seems as if Sharpe must stand by & watch the grandest scale of military folly. But at the height of battle as victory seems impossible Sharpe takes command & the most hard-fought & bloody battle of his career becomes his most magnificent triumph. Soldier hero rogue
- Sharpe is the man you always want on your side. Born in poverty he joined the army to escape jail & climbed the ranks by sheer brutal courage. He knows no other family than the regiment of the 95th Rifles whose green jacket he proudly wears.
