Men-of-War
eAudiobook
Patrick O'Brian / Ronald Pickup
A brand new edition of the definitive companion to the acclaimed Aubrey-Maturin series of novels written by the author himself.
What was daily life in Nelson's navy really like for everyone from the captain down to the rawest recruit? What did they eat? What songs did they sing? What was the schedule of watches? How were the officers and crew paid and what was the division of prize-money? These questions and many more are answered in Patrick O'Brian's elegant narrative which includes wonderful anecdotal material on the battles and commanders that established Britain's naval supremacy. Meticulously researched Men-of-War provides an unparalleled insight into life during wartime in the Napoleonic era and offers a wonderfully evocative companion to the world of Jack Aubrey and Stephen Maturin.
