External Reviews
"What I had originally thought to be a coffee table book turned out to be an extremely in-depth account, not only of Nelson’s battles, but also a very geeky history of the entire “line of battle” system, it’s evolution from the late 17th Century to its peak in during the Napoleonic Wars of the early 19th Century, theoretical and practical changes, specific battles that either were effected by (or resulted in) updates in tactics, publications, and the development of naval signal systems in both French and English navies." - Goodreads Review.
