Editorial Reviews
Book Description
In this beautifully illustrated book, the popular novelist provides a historical naval context to the adventures of the hero of his many books, Horatio Hornblower. Thirty-full-page maps help the reader follow Hornblower's world travels and decorative sketches convey the atmosphere as well as the actions. Originally published in England in 1964, the book explains how Forester assembled his plots and what events in the Royal Navy inspired the adventures he wrote about.
