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?
