From the mutinies and threatened invasions of the 1790's to the British victories at Trafalgar and Algiers, Northcote gives clear, engaging history of naval events in the Napoleonic period. These include battles of Copenhagen, the Nile, the war with America of 1812, with plans, battle maps, prints, and paintings from the museum. Northcote [1909-93] was an eminent historian, journalist, and traveller who wrote enthusiastically about naval history. First published in 1977. Very good, like new. Sutton Publishing Limited.
