Critiques
Well written, compact form, prefect for someone who like me isn't that interested in marine history (maybe still too much detail). Kept me reading despite my lack of interest in the topic.
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.
