About This Item
This is a stated First American edition of The War for All the Oceans, From Nelson at the Nile to Napoleon at Waterloo, written by the British historians and archaeologists Roy and Lesley Adkins and published in 2007.
It is an account of the naval war that lasted from Napoleon's seizure of power in 1798 to the War of 1812 with the US. It brilliantly illustrates how the British navy gained control of the oceans.
The dust jacket of this book has bits of white-out on it, and some wear to the edges. There is very minor fading to the bottom of the cover. The inside is perfect.
Synopsis
As he did with his much lauded Nelson?s Trafalgar , Roy Adkins (now writing with wife Lesley) again thrusts readers into the perils and thrills of early-nineteenth-century warfare. From its very first page, this is an adventure story?a superb account of the naval war that lasted from Napoleon?s seizure of power in 1798 to the War of 1812 with the United States. Providing a ringside seat to the decisive battles, as well as detailed and vivid portraits of sailors and commanders, press-gangs, prostitutes, and spies, The War for All the Oceans is ?a rollicking, patriotic account of the Napoleonic wars that will go down well with Master and Commander fans? ( The Telegraph ).
