Media reviews

"The Battle of the Nile ranks as the first major independent victory of Nelson’s career. The British fleet had crippled the French campaign in North Africa by denying Napoleon’s army access to seaborne supplies and support. Besides asserting naval supremacy in the Mediterranean, the British victory encouraged other European countries to turn against France ... This 96-page book covers the opposing commanders and the forces at their disposal, their battle plans, and the broad sweep of history behind the fateful Battle of the Nile. New maps and specially commissioned artwork by Howard Gerrard help illuminate this highly recommended book about one of history’s key sea battles." -Toy Soldier & Model Figure (July 2011)

Description:
Osprey Pub Co, 2011. New book, 96 pages, CAM230. On the night of 1 August 1798 a British fleet under the command of Rear-Admiral Horatio Nelson met a French fleet under the command of Admiral Francois-Paul Brueys D'Aigalliers. By morning the British had won a near-complete victory: only two of the 13 French ships-of-the-line escaped and the rest were either captured or destroyed. It was the first major independent victory of Nelson’s career but more importantly it crippled the French effort in Africa by denying them access to the suplies and support from the sea. This book uses the latest research, new maps and specially commissioned artwork to tell the story of one of the great sea battles of the Napoleonic era. Contents: Origins of the campaign, Chronology, Opposing commanders, Opposing armies, Orders of battle, Opposing plans, The campaign, Aftermath, The battlefield today, Further reading, Index.. Soft Cover. As New. Illus. by Gerrard, Howard. 8vo - over 7¾" - 9¾" tall.
