Year: 2014 Language: English Author: Bryan Perrett Performer (voice actor): Ron Bottitta Publisher: Audible Studios Audio codec: M4B Audio bitrate: 64 kbps Description: In this thoroughly researched book the author argues convincingly that Forester's model was Adm. James Gordon, a flesh-and-blood hero of Nelson's navy. Gordon entered the Royal Navy as a semi-literate eleven-year-old and rose to become Admiral of the Fleet. He took part in major sea battles, frigate actions, single-ship duels, and operations far behind enemy lines. It was the fire of Gordon's ships against Fort McHenry that inspired the American national anthem.
