"The Royal Navy 1793-1815 examines the commanders, men, and ships of the Royal Navy during the French Revolution and Napoleonic wars, and discusses the Navy's command structure and its organization at sea... [It] provides fascinating insight into the navy that ruled the waves." --sirreadalot.org (December 2, 2007) "Overall this is a most impressive book and probably one of the best of the Battle Orders series. One that I can most highly recommend to you and one I know you will find enlightening and enjoyable." --Scott Van Aken, modelingmadness.com (December 2007)
