The Eyes of the Fleet
Anthony Price
In his first nonfiction effort, novelist Price (Here Be Monsters, Etc.) offers us a wonderful popular history of the British Navy
in its golden years. In format, the text details six naval encounters of
famous captains (five actual captains and C.S. Forester's Horatio
Hornblower). By the end of the book, the reader is given a fine summary
of the evolution of a frigate (a fast, powerful, single-deck warship),
naval officer background and advancement, life aboard ship, mutiny,
actual battle, and political intrigue.
The volume contains portraits and
paintings of famous frigate battles. Readers seeking more information
on the subject should consult Michael Lewis's A Social History of the
Navy, 1793-1815 (1954) and Byron Lavery's The Line of Battle: The
Sailing Warship, 1650-1840 (Naval Inst., 1992).
