Description
The year marks a complete transformation for Richard Bolitho and his future in the Royal Navy. It is the year that the American War of Independence changes to an all-out struggle against British rule – and the year when he takes command of Sparrow, a fast, well-armed sloop of war. As the pace of the war increases, the Sparrow is called from one crisis to another; and when the great fleets of Britain and France converge on the Chesapeake, Bolitho must be ready to come of age in a sea battle that will decide the fate of a whole continent. ‘One of our foremost writers of naval fiction … authentic, inspiring, well characterized and, finally, moving’ –SUNDAY TIMES Book Description: Arrow, GB, 1974, 319 pages.
