I will definitely have to try and get the book. It sounds like a most interesting read. ;D Cochrane actually tried to have Keith courtmartialled a few times I don't think there was a superior Cochrane didn't have issues with. He and St Vincent were usually at loggerheads and accused Gambier of hesitating at the Battle of Basque Roads. A difficult and stubborn Scot if ever there was one. :D he'd be holding hands with Nelson in a meadow. Who?
