Description

Caxton Editions. (Subject: Naval & Maritime: Ships, Submarines & Other Vessels - General) After half a decade of war a precarious balance had been struck between undefeated British seapower and the all-conquering armies of revolutionary France. This was dramatically overturned in 1798 when their respective champions, Horatio Nelson and Napoleon Bonaparte, clashed in the campaign for Egypt, prompting renewed continental fighting as Austria and Russia returned to arms. The volume charts the naval events of 1798 to 1801, including two of Nelson's greatest victories, at the Nile and Copenhagen.
