This work tells of the life and adventures of the daring seaman Thomas Cochrane, who rose from midshipman to admiral and was called The Sea Wolf by Napoleon.
Patrick O'Brian, C.S. Forester and Captain Marryat all based their literary heroes on Thomas Cochrane, but as David Cordingly shows, Cochrane's own real life exploits were far more daring and exciting than those of his fictional counterparts.
