Rodney & the Breaking of the Line - Peter Trew

[carojon]

I've recently finished Peter Trew's account of one of the most famous and great British admirals, Lord George Brydges Rodney, 1st Baron Rodney, who broke the stale line versus line tactics with his famous manoeuvre at the Battle of the Saintes 12th April 1782, that would later influence British battle tactics in the glory years of the French Revolutionary and Napoleonic Wars.



However there is more to the man that the Battle of the Saintes and I found Trew's account a very readable and informing one.

One Rodney who was definitely not a plonker!

It's a great book.
