  4. Sharpe's Rifles by Bernard Cornwell The first of Sharpe's adventures in Spain. This is not the first of the Sharpe books and differs from the TV series in that Sharpe is already an officer having saved Wellington in India. Sharpe is introduced to the Rifles and is not well liked. He teams up with a Spanish major to reach Santiago de Compostela and unveil a flag in order to inspire the Spanish people. The major's brother is working with the French and is out to stop him. It is a very simple story and it is good

To crush your enemies, see them driven before you, and to hear the lamentations of their women.
