Description
James Keane of the 27th Foot is an ill-disciplined card sharp and ladies' man - one of the finest soldiers of Wellington's army. His task, assigned directly by Wellington, is to create an intelligence unit operating behind enemy lines. Keane must form a band of blackguards into an elite unit, recruiting soldiers from military jails and liberating them from their regiments. Deep in enemy territory, they must negotiate with dangerous guerilla groups and forge new routes for their army if they are to succeed - and survive. Based on the true activities of the first British military intelligence unit, Keane's Company presents an unusual and fascinating picture of the Peninsular War. This novel is a worthy companion to Bernard Cornwell's Sharpe series, offering a unique perspective on one of the most pivotal conflicts in European history.
