My Library: Patrick O'Brian, Nelson, and the Napoleonic Wars

I have been a fan of O'Brian since the mid-90's when I was first introduced to the world of Aubrey and Maturin by my wife who thought Master and Commander would make fine reading for a week in a 16-foot open boat. She was right. I'm sure you'll agree. You are invited to join the great conversation of the world: see The Gunroom.
