This is part of the great scholarly legacy Brian Southam left to us. Based on family papers and naval records, this book shows the novelist as a historian of Nelson's Navy, not the navy of great victories but the navy at home, sailors among their families and friends, set against the background of war. It's a beloved addition to our collection, and we're always happy when we have this out-of-print book for our customers. Hambledon and London, London and NY, 2000. Light shelf wear to jacket. Hb, Dj. USED. $100.00
