Gateway to India Battle of the Nile Siege of Acre From Naples to Copenhagen War and peace Hot press Invasion fleet Turning point In every sea Conflict and commerce The sea wolf By land and sea The grand expedition Disaster Prisoners and privateers The hand of providence Triumph and tragedy The great mistake Up the Chesapeake Star-Spangled Banner Swansong The turn of fortune's wheel An action-packed account of the sea battles of the Napoleonic War, a naval struggle that lasted from 1798 to 1815, beginning with Napoleon's seizing power and ending with the War of 1812. 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 description Great Britain.
