Admiral John Benbow was an English naval hero, a fighting sailor of ruthless methods but indomitable courage. Benbow was a man to be reckoned with. In 1702, however, when Benbow engaged a French squadron off the Spanish main, other ships in his squadron failed to support him. His leg shattered by a cannon-ball, Benbow fought on
- but to no avail: the French escaped & the stricken Benbow succumbed to his wounds. When the story of his ' Last Fight' reached Engl&, there was an outcry. Two of the captains who had abandoned him were court-martialled & shot; ' Brave Benbow' was elevated from national hero to national legend, his valour immortalized in broadsheet & folksong: ships were named after him; Tennyson later f?ted him in verse; in Robert Louis Stevenson's Treasure Isl&, the tavern where Jim Hawkins & his mother live is called ' The Admiral Benbow'. For the very first time, Sam Willis tells the extraordinary story of Admiral Benbow through an age of dramatic change, from his birth under Cromwell's Commonwealth; to service under the restored Stuart monarchy; to the Glorious Revolution of 1688; to the French wars of Louis XIV; & finally to the bitter betrayal of 1702. The Admiral Benbow covers all aspects of seventeenth century naval life in richly vivid detail, from strategy & tactics to health & discipline. But Benbow also worked in the Royal Dockyards, lived in Samuel Evelyn's House, knew Peter the Great, helped to found the first naval hospital, & helped to build the first offshore lighthouse. The second volume in the Hearts of Oak trilogy, from one of Britain's most exciting young historians, The Admiral Benbow is a gripping & detailed account of the making of a naval legend.
