The dustjacket, glossy in a mylar sleeve, has touches of wear to the extremities; there are 3 closed tears and a couple of creases at the bottom of the rear panel. The original price is intact. "Spithead, 1784. His majesty's Frigate Undine sets sail for India and the seas beyond. Europe may be at peace-but in colonial waters the promises of statesmen count for little and the bloody struggle for supremacy still goes on. Richard Bolitho would have cause to remember his admirals words: 'The task I am giving you would be better handled by a squadron.'."
