Critics Review
”- ‘this is an excellent book… action packed with many of the great sea battles that form such an important part of the nation’s history - especially of course Trafalgar… Above all it is clearly and simply written and most readers, whether technically minded or not should have little difficulty in following the story of the main battles’ - The Nautical Magazine - ‘possibly the most useful new book to introduce the reader to the concept of Napoleonic Naval history’ - First Empire
