Cockburn and the British Navy in Transition Admiral Sir George Cockburn 1772-1853

"Roger Morriss's life is thorough, scholarly and closely based on the documents. Some readers may feel the focus is too close, during the post-war years especially. This is very much an official Life, for not much survives to illuminate the private man, and he seems, perhaps unavoidably, somewhat colourless--but it is nevertheless a life full of interest and importance, not only for the 'British Navy in transition,' but for the political and social life of the era."Morriss, Roger is the author of 'Cockburn and the British Navy in Transition Admiral Sir George Cockburn 1772-1853' with ISBN 9781570032530 and ISBN 157003253X.
