Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The French Revolutionary and Napoleonic Wars were the first truly global conflicts. The Royal Navy was a key player in the wider wars and, for Britain, the key factor in her eventual emergence as the only naval power capable of sustained global hegemony. The most iconic battles of any era were fought at sea during these years - from the Battle of the Nile in 1798 to Nelson's momentous victory at Trafalgar in October 1805. In this period, the Navy had reached a peak of efficiency and was unrivalled in manpower and technological strength. The eradication of scurvy in the 1790s had a significant impact on the health of sailors and, along with regular supplies of food and water, gave the British an advantage over their rivals in battle. As well as naval battles, the Navy also undertook amphibious operations, capturing many of France's Caribbean colonies and Dutch colonies in the East Indies and Ceylon; this Imperial dimension was integral to British strength and counteracting French success on continental Europe. This book looks at the history of the Royal Navy during the French Revolutionary and Napoleonic Wars, 1793-1815, from a broad perspective, examining the strategy, operations and tactics of British seapower. While it delves into the details of Royal Navy operations such as battle, blockade, commerce protection and exploration, it also covers a myriad of other aspects often overlooked in narrative histories such as the importance of naval logistics, transport, relations with the army and manning. An assessment of key naval figures and combined eyewitness accounts situate the reader firmly in Nelson's navy. Through an exploration of the relationship between the Navy, trade and empire, Martin Robson highlights the contribution Royal Navy made to Britain's rise to global hegemony through the nineteenth century Pax Britannica.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This is the 'Bible' for the many enthusiasts of British Naval history in the age of Nelson. What Sir Charles Oman did for the Peninsular War, William James (d.1827) did for the Napoleonic Wars at sea: writing a comprehensive, massively detailed account of the real-life actions that lay behind the fiction of C. S. Forester and Patrick O'Brian. James had the advantage of writing at the time of the events he describes so well, and wrote hundreds of letters to survivors of the wars at sea, as well as scrutinising every despatch, ship's log, foreign report and private narrative that he could lay his hands on. 'Never, ' wrote the 'Fortnightly Review', 'was there a man more painstaking, more indefatigable, more scrupulously conscientious.' Vol. I (1793-96) gives a brief history of the Royal Navy from 1488 until 1793 and the outbreak of the first war with Revolutionary France when the main narrative begins with Lord Howe's operations at Toulon, his victory on the 'Glorious 1st June' and the capture of French islands in the West Indies. Vol II (1797-1800) covers Lord Hood's victory at the battle of Cape St Vincent and Nelson's triumph at the Nile. Vol III covers the Battle of Copenhagen and concludes with Nelson's great victory and death at Trafalgar. Vol IV (1805-1809) concentrates on Vice-Admiral Colloingwood's post-Trafalgar operations and the actions of Sir Richard Strachan, and Admiral Sir Thomas Troubridge. Vol V ( 1809-1813) looks at actions in the Dutch East Indies and the 1812 War with the United States. Finally, Vol VI (1813-1827) wraps up the Napoleonic Wars by examining the war at sea during Napoleon's 100 days campaign which ended at Waterloo, and the exploits of Admiral Duncan. Illustrated with charts, diagrams, and frontispiece engravings of famous Admirals, this is quite simply the definitive account of the Napoleonic Wars at sea, finally back in print.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Battles, blockades, convoys, raids: An “impressive” account of how the indefatigable British Royal Navy ensured Napoleon’s ultimate defeat (International Journal of Military History). Horatio Nelson’s celebrated victory over the French at the Battle of Trafalgar in 1805 presented Britain with an unprecedented command of the seas. Yet the Royal Navy’s role in the struggle against Napoleonic France was far from over. This groundbreaking book asserts that, contrary to the accepted notion that the Battle of Trafalgar essentially completed the Navy’s task, the war at sea actually intensified over the next decade, ceasing only with Napoleon’s final surrender. In this dramatic account of naval contributions between 1803 and 1815, James Davey offers original and exciting insights into the Napoleonic wars and Britain’s maritime history. Encompassing Trafalgar, the Peninsular War, the War of 1812, the final campaign against Napoleon, and many lesser known but likewise crucial moments, the book sheds light on the experiences of individuals high and low, from admiral and captain to sailor and cabin boy. The cast of characters also includes others from across Britain—dockyard workers, politicians, civilians—who made fundamental contributions to the war effort, and in so doing, both saved the nation and shaped Britain’s history.
