Written by the same author who did the Waterloo Companion and The Gettysburg Companion, this hardback volume of 448 pages is lavish in production and detail.
Covering most aspects of naval warfare in the Age of Sail in the first section it then deals with the battle itself in high detail. With numerous magnificent diagrams and tables, charts and maps, it also gives an account of every ship in the battle (including a diagram of the ship), what happened to it during the fighting and after. The book has multiple side notes on interesting individuals, events and technological aspects of the period.
