First of June

It is June 1794, and the Royal Navy and the French Revolutionary fleet are on a collision course in the Atlantic. Nicholas Cruwys, now a commodore, commands a ship of the line in the fleet under Admiral Lord Howe. What follows is the Glorious First of June — the first great fleet battle of the French Revolutionary Wars — a savage, close-range engagement fought in heavy seas far from any shore. First of June is a masterful account of fleet action at its most brutal and heroic, and a fitting milestone in the Nicholas Cruwys Naval Series.
