While the Trafalgar element gets a paltry 1 or 2 pages that is no great matter (I reckon the editor/publisher merely pounced on a popular aspect of the book). In its main topic it is a very good recounting of the diplomatic background to and the military expedition itself. The British forces involved land in Naples to fine a Russian general with seniority who is well past his prime and whose subordinate is ill-favoured towards the British. The diplomatic quagmire of political intrigue associated with the Bourbons there is as dangerous as the threat of action by Napoleon, and the reliability and quality of the local forces leaves much to be desired.
Somewhat disappointingly the Battle of Maida and that section of the campaign is barely touched, but otherwise it's a dizzying view into the financial and political maelstrom that is coalition warfare. ( )
