First published in 1961, this is a fascinating account of the battle between the fleets of the England's Lord Howe and France's Admiral Villaret-Joyeuse during the French Revolutionary Wars.

Like Antietam in the USA Civil war, The Glorious First was a crucial battle in a long struggle. The war went on longer, but the strategy was defined from this point. For the next quarter-century, the French Navy would try to break out into the Atlantic, so as to bring in resources from abroad, (N. and S. America.) They would, of course, fail. Britain's ability to carry on the war would never be seriously challenged again. I wish the book were better written, but Trafalgar gets the ink, even though it was a last gasp, in comparison. ( )
