Recenzii

David Andress writes well, charts the British experience of the struggle against Napoleon in a manner that is as thorough as it is enthusiastic, approaches his subject from a refreshing perspective and fills a serious gap in the historiography ... The Savage Storm is a book that ... should be read by all those interested in Britain's role in the Revolutionary and Napoleonic Wars -- Charles Esdaile Literary Review Andress's vivid account of Britain's history during the war years ... He writes movingly about the reality of war, the experience of the common soldier and especially of the sailor ... He shows commendable skill in interweaving the two narratives, the military and the political, to offer a convincing overview of the age -- Alan Forrest BBC History Magazine
