Review:
Book Description:
An excellent book . . . action packed with many of the great sea battles that form such an important part of the nation's history . . . clearly and simply written. [Davies'] descriptions of the work of those on the gun decks is admirable and leaves no room for regarding life in a battle as anything other than imensely frightening, dangerous and difficult.
(The Nautical Magazine)David Davies' treatment of the Napoleonic Wars considers aspects often given scant attention by many orthodox academic accounts.
(Lloyds List)Intelligently written and informative enough to warrant a place on even the most landlocked bookcase.
(First Empire)From Napoleonic sea battles to ship's biscuits.
