silverhearted maggie Posted February 21, 2004 Posted February 21, 2004 Hi mates, Has anybody read this? It's the non-fiction account of Anson's capture (eventually) of a Spainish treasure ship. Does anyone know anything about the author? What other books can anyone recommend by this author? I think he wrote one on Cook. Thanks, S. H.

Redvipers Posted February 23, 2004 Posted February 23, 2004 Aye,Also, in this here section o' th' forum there are at least two sections concernin' books... One titled Pyracy bibliography, th' other, Books... Lotsa info there..... You might also try "Cochrane", The Life and Exploits of a fighting Captain. by Robert Harvey. If you have read the Hornblower series By C. S. Forester or the Jack Aubrey Series by Patrick O'Brian, after reading about Lord Cochrane you will see that Forester and O'Brian got some of their ideas for their fictional characters from a real life naval hero..

Magggie Glyn Williams is the author and it's a very good book. I have a copy myself but it's packed away in storage. You might want to check a topic I started titled Pirate/Maritime Book.
