The War for All the Oceans: From Nelson at the Nile to Napoleon at Waterloo"Roy and Lesley Adkins bring this naval war to life, writing about its heroes, ship maneuvers and shipboard life with equal relish. They paint a picture of the large fleet actions of the war, such as the battles of the Nile and Copenhagen; duels between pairs of ships, such as the HMS Shannon and USS Chesapeake; and combined naval and army operations like the disastrous Walcheren expedition. They provide a ringside seat to the earliest attacks with torpedoes and rockets and a look at our own country in a rendering of the War of 1812, fought in our nation's infancy."--BOOK JACKET. |
