The Command of the Ocean" describes with unprecedented authority & scholarship the rise of Britain to naval greatness & the central place of the Navy & naval activity in the life of the nation & government. It describes not just battles voyages & cruises but how the Navy was manned how it was supplied with timber hemp & iron how its men (and sometimes women) were fed & above all how it was financed & directed. It was during the century & a half covered by this book that the successful organizing of these last three

Edward Pellew captain of the legendary Indefatigable was quite simply the greatest frigate captain in the age of sail. An incomparable seaman ferociously combative yet chivalrous a master of the quarterdeck & an athlete of the tops he was as quick to welcome a gallant foe into his cabin as to dive to the rescue of a man overboard. He is the likely model for the heroic but all-too-human Jack Aubrey in Patrick OBrians novels. Pellew was orphaned at eight but fought his way from the very bottom of the Navy to fleet command & a viscountcy. Victories & eye-catching feats won him a public following. Yet as an outsider with a gift for antagonizing his better-born peers he made powerful enemies. Redemption came with his last command when he set off to do battle with the Barbary States & free thousands of European slaves. Contemporary opinion held this to be an impossible mission & Pellew himself in leading from the front in the style of his direct contemporary Nelson did not expect to survive. Pellews humanity as much as his gallantry fondness for subordinates & blind love for his family & the warmth & intimacy of his letters make him a hugely engaging & sympathetic figure. In Stephen Taylors magnificent new life he at last has the biography he deserves. ...
