Surprisingly good. Cornwell explains the details of the battle for the non-military type (like the difference between a regiment and battalion, and when an army would form a square and when they'd do a line). He seems to be a defender of Wellington and his decisions, and makes quite a few references to the Spanish campaign (which is where the British army got its experience, after all), which is where a lot of the Richard Sharpe novels take place.
