The Sea Warriors Zusammenfassung

The Sea Warriors Richard Woodman

Extraordinary maritime heroes of the late 18th and early 19th centuries stride across these pages - some, like Warren, Pellew, Cochrane and Collingwood, are still renowned; others are almost unknown today, yet their brilliant exploits deserve to be pulled from under the long shadow of the greatest naval figure of all, Horatio Nelson. The Royal Navy's struggle is set against the political backdrop of the Napoleonic Wars and the sea war with America.

The Sea Warriors Bewertungen

- 'A superb Napoleonic War study, admirably written. It puts Patrick O 'Brian and Homblower in the shade. One of John Bayley's Books of the Year.' - Daily Telegraph - 'An enthralling story of the fighting captains and frigate warfare in the age of Nelson.' - Robert Harvey, author of Cochrane. - 'A marvellous book....shows where Patrick O' Brian and C. S Forster got all their stuff from, but is more exciting than either.' - Times Literary Supplement - 'Here the surging thrill of broadside battles under billowing sail is captured with narration that also presents a considerd assessment of the times, of the social, military and political factors that came so powerfully into play; would that all history books could be as arresting' - This England
