The Frigates
An Account of the Lesser War****ps of the Wars from 1793 to 1815
by James Henderson
Light, swift, daring: frigates wee the cruisers of Nelson's navy,
commanded
by bold, young, courageous officers, ranging the oceans of the world alone
or in packs, seeking the enemy - and usually finding him. Although the
swashbuckling spirit of these almost incredible sea adventurers has been
captured in the best naval fiction, the story of the frigates of 1793-1815
has never been told as a continuous narrative. A reprint from the
Wordsworth
Military Library. Illustrated with B&W plates and maps.
Wordsworth Editions, England, 1998, reprint, 192 pages, 5 1/4" x 8 1/4",
trade paperback, illustrated.
