Artikelbeschreibung des Verkäufers

Paperback. The Trafalgar Chronicle is the publication of choice for new research on the Georgian era navy, sometimes called 'Nelson's Navy'. Its scope extends to the maritime world of 1714 to 1837. In this volume, authors from five countries provide tales of adventure, battles, conquests and intrigue that span the world's oceans, taking readers to the UK, the US, South America, Venice, France, the Caribbean, South Africa and the Ionian Islands. The theme for this New Series 9 is naval intelligence in the Georgian era. The contributions include two articles on the methods of gathering naval intelligence one by author Steve Maffeo who has written the definitive book on the subject. Two articles explore how Nelson and Rodney respectively applied naval intelligence in their missions. Three articles about intelligence agents follow, including a featured monograph on Baron d'Imbert, a royalist spy during the French Revolutionary and Napoleonic Wars. Biographical portraits include a discussion of Duckworth's dilemma of choosing between his mission in the Caribbean and safeguarding the health of his men from the threat of yellow fever. The tale of Joshua Penny tells of a Royal Navy sailor who deserted and found refuge in a cave in South Africa. A third article documents the last survivors of the Battle of Trafalgar as they reached their final years. Five more articles of general interest cover a range of topics, to include the parliamentary debates concerning the War of 1812, the cruise of the US Frigate Essex, copper bottoms on Royal Navy ships, political wranglings in South America, and the origin of the name of Villeneuve's flagship, Bucentaure. This richly illustrated, peer reviewed, scholarly journal of naval history is a 'must-read' for all enthusiasts and historians of the Age of Sail. 'Well written, well researched, well-illustrated, this is a publication that will both delight and inform. A most enjoyable read.' - D J Paul in Naval Review 'The Chronicle is a wonderful collection of articles, and a delight to dip into.' - Warship World AUTHORS: Before turning to research and writing, Captain John A Rodgaard served for 41 years with the US Navy, including 29 years as an intelligence officer. He co-authored A Call to the Sea, the biography of Captain Charles Stewart of the USS Constitution, and is now the Chairman of the 1805 Club and edits The Trafalgar Chronicle with Judith Pearson who is an experienced editor. 12 colour, 85 b/w illustrations Shipping may be from multiple locations in the US or from the UK, depending on stock availability.…
