Book Description Hard Cover. Condition: Very Good. Dust Jacket Condition: Very Good. First Edition. In 1798 Napoleon Bonaparte, who was all but Master of Europe, assembled a formidable expeditionary force at Toulon. While its purpose was unknown there was every reason to believe that Great Britain was its destination and the Nation was on invasion alert. The overwhelming British priority was for a fleet to be assembled and sent to the Mediterranean to destroy this threat before the French force could set sail. The burning issue was which of four Royal Naval flag officers should command this vital mission? The strong field in order of seniority was Admiral The Earl St Vincent, Dust jacket complete, unclipped. Original cloth boards with bright gilt titling on spine. No ownership marks. Photographs. 228 pages clean and tidy. Rear Admirals Sir William Parker, Sir John Orde and Sir Horatio Nelson. The choice of Nelson who went on the win the Battle of Nice provoked great anger and even a challenge by Orde for a duel, only prevented buy the King's intervention. Nelson's and Orde's acrimonious relationship erupted in the months before the Battle of Trafalgar and is well documented in this fascinating book. Size: 8vo. Seller Inventory # 140117

Book Description Hardcover. Condition: Near Fine. Dust Jacket Condition: Very Good. 1st Edition. Subtitled Concerning Pride, Preferment, and Prize Money. As the 18C drew to a close, a number of eminent sailors vied for the prestigious Mediterranean command - Vice Admiral Sir John Order, Lord St. Vincent, Commander in Chief of the Mediterranean Fleet, and Nelson himself. Rivalry aplenty, and the conflict between Orde and St. Vincent was personal, not least over the appointment in 1798 of Nelson to command a Mediterranean squadron to follow Napolean's Fleet - a position which placed him above more senior officers such as Orde. The author brings this enmity amid the Anglo-French sea war between 1793 and 1805 vividly to life. Exact and informative, and redolent with the spectacle and excitement of naval warfare, this extensive biography covers an important subject from an original angle with style, intelligence and authority. A very good clean tight copy, in a good unclipped jacket. 232 p. Book. Seller Inventory # 000936
