The wars against Napoleonic France and Spain in the early years of
the nineteenth century have long fascinated historians and casual
readers who are enchanted by the colour and romance of those
incredible times. No aspect of the period has generated more
interest and enthusiasm than the war at sea-fought between great
naval commanders whose names from reverberated through time and who
stood upon the decks of equally famous ships of the line in heroic
battles. Here are the true life events that so inspired C. S.
Forrester-and those who later followed his tradition of naval
adventures to appeal to a new and enthusiastic audience. However,
nothing in fiction is more remarkable than the actual events
related in this book. Here are the true stories of the Victory, the
Temeraire, the Orient and many other iconic vessels, and their
famous and inspiring feats of naval warfare at Copenhagen, the
Nile, Cadiz, Trafalgar and many other battles that helped shape the
modern world
