Fulminata reviewed The War for All the Oceans by Roy Adkins
Review of 'The War for All the Oceans' on 'Goodreads'
3 stars
Overall, a good account of the Napoleonic Wars from the point of view of the British Navy's involvement. Lots of good eyewitness accounts back up the narrative and make for interesting reading.
Unfortunately, the decision was made by the Adkins' or their editors to completely ignore the most pivotal battle of the period. By barely mentioning Trafalgar the book feels incomplete and I would have rated it higher but for that omission.
I don't think sales of the author's book on Trafalgar would have been hurt by including a full chapter on it here.
