Nice photos and maps. An interesting discussion on how to properly the Infantry Tank.

I bought this book at a thrift store after I saw the name Hornblower and a picture of a sailboat on the cover. My first thoughts were of Gregory Peck and Virginia Mayo in the movie about Horatio Hornblower.
This book is really about The Life and Times of Admiral Sir James Gordon and the character of Hornblower seems to be based on Gordon in the novels written by C. S. Forester.
It is a detailed history book with statistics, dates, places, ships, battles, family, and history.
I was especially interested in the chapters that related to America/United States and the Caribbean.
In the Index there are the names of the British, United States, French, Spanish, Chilean and Venetian warships which personally interested me with such unique names.
It the reader tires of the many details, do not end the book but go to the last chapter and read some of the life of Gordon and then go back and read the rest of the book.
I gave it a 5 star rating.

"Faction" - I've never come across a book like this and would not have bought a copy, except that this book came in a box set of ten Cassell Military Paperbacks. The back cover writes only of Soldiers yet one of the twelve subjects is a US Marine - that sort of inaccuracy puts me off straight away. Surprising from a British author that one of the twelve wars is not the Falklands War of 1982.
