Title: Rich with detail, exciting adventures and characters
Product review: Mr. Brooks has captured all the rich details in this epic account of the Royal Navy and its intrepid sailors and marines. Each section is filled with some amazing tales of courage and clever practices in warfare.The book is very readable but not for the novice Victorian era reader. There are a great number of terms that many may not understand, but the style of writing allows the reader to follow the various conflicts and the daring sailors as they endure horrible climates, savage battles, disease and some very hostile tribesmen around the globe.The tactics, personnel, weapons and commanders are laid out making the book very well rounded. I wish the book had been twice the size and hated to see the book end. The author should be commended for fleshing out a little known aspect of the Victorian time period. Check it out
