Average Reviews:
(More customer reviews)Verbose but excellent military biography of hard-charging, corpulent French Admiral Suffren. Good insights into how he maintained a squadron off of Ceylon and the Carnatic on the far side of the world in the early 1780s. Suffren was much more aggressive than most French admirals, but, unlike Nelson, he was hampered by ship captains who did not share this attitude. Several excellent area maps and tactical schematics. Nice I.B. Tauris publication.
