The War for All the Oceans: From Nelson at the Nile to Napoleon at Waterloo

A brutal, action-packed account of the sea battles of the Napoleonic War by the author of the bestselling Nelsonâ€™s Trafalgar

Roy Adkins (with his wife Lesley) returns to the Napoleonic War in The War for All the Oceans, a gripping account of the naval struggle that lasted from 1798 to 1815, a period marked at the beginning by Napoleonâ€™s seizing power and at the end by the War of 1812. In this vivid and visceral account, Adkins draws on eyewitness records to portray not only the battles but also the details of a sailorâ€™s lifeâ€”shipwrecks, press-gangs, prostitutes, spies, and prisoners of war.

The War for All the Oceans is epic narrative history sure to appeal to fans of Patrick Oâ€™Brian and C. S. Forester, as well as all readers of military and social history.
