520 1 $a"In this collection of short biographical essays Lee Bienkowski assesses each officer's career, describing the factors that influenced the subject's character and contributed to his success. While each biography calls attention to the specific traits of the admiral profiled, the essays together provide an interesting perspective of the Royal Navy, its leadership, and the wars between Britain and the rest of the world. Many of the men included have not been subjects of study since the nineteenth century.
520 8 $aThe author makes liberal use of primary source material and quotes for the first time from letters and journal entries previously unknown to the public. Among those profiled are admirals who achieved their fame during keynote battles: the noble-born Lord Howe at the Glorious First of June, Lord Duncan at Camperdown, Sir John Duckworth at San Domingo, and Lord de Saumarez at Algeciras.
520 8 $aThese relatively unknown but highly skilled leaders made an impact on history, and their fact-filled portraits not only hold the reader's attention, but also contribute significantly to the literature of the period."--BOOK JACKET.
