Book Synopsis Admiral Lord Keith and the Naval War Against Napoleon by : Kevin D. McCranie
Book excerpt: "McCranie's book is the first modern biography of Keith, who learned the art of commanding single ships and small squadrons during the American Revolution. Keith eventually commanded four major fleets - the Eastern Seas, the Mediterranean, the North Sea, and the Channel. Though he had never led a fleet into battle, Keith supported joint operations with the British army and its allies while simultaneously maintaining command of the sea and ensuring the free passage of commerce.".
