Almost a thousand years of naval wars and rivalries between these two brotherly countries have left a deep scar of resentment that slashes their respective History. These battles were also a school of courage, fearlessness, and fortitude.But this 'millennium' of incessant hostility has also worn out the lifeblood of these two countries to the sole benefit of commercial lobbies and war profiteers.This very complete book, stubbed with references to tacticians of all times, will be an indispensable tool for the amateur, the teacher who wants to illustrate his courses, the passionate of high accomplishments and adventurous challenges.In this captivating work, the author brings to life a host of legendary captains such as Le Moyne d’Iberville, the brilliant Horatio Nelson, the daring Suffren, and so many other British and French seamen who deserve our admiration for their exemplary courage in bloody and deadly battles.
