Mr. Davies has written a tidy and clear book, analyzing the Napoleonic Royal Navy from an operational and organizational point of view. The text is clear, and the details of the famous battles are insightful. Into the bargain he has utilized the services of an experienced small-boat sailor to show why some details are important. It is a good book, and I intend to add it to my permanent collection. sin reseñas | añadir una reseña
