In this vivid and visceral account, the authors draw on eyewitness records to portray not only the battles but also the details of a sailor's life--shipwrecks, press-gangs, prostitutes, spies, and prisoners of war. This epic narrative history will appeal to fans of Patrick O'Brian and C.S. Forester, as well as all readers of military and social history.--From publisher description10aGreat Britain.bRoyal NavyxHistoryy19th century.10aFrance.bMarinexHistoryy19th century.14aFrancia. bMarina xHistoria ySiglo XIX 0aSecond Coalition, War of the, 1798-1801xNaval operations. 0aNapoleonic Wars, 1800-1815xNaval operations. 4aGuerras napoleoĢnicas, 1800-1815 xOperaciones navales1 aAdkins, Lesley, d1955-413Table of contents onlyuhttp://www.loc.gov/catdir/toc/ecip076/2006101017.html423Publisher descriptionuhttp://www.loc.gov/catdir/enhancements/fy0743/2006101017-d.html423Contributor biographical informationuhttp://www.loc.gov/catdir/enhancements/fy0743/2006101017-b.html
