The biography of Britain's most insubordinate admiral. Beresford was variously a Government minister, three times a commander-in-chief and four times an MP. He could fill public halls with his rabble-rousing speeches; he could pack the Commons with his venomous attacks on ministers; he could instil love and obedience in any sailor's heart. Full of conflict and contradiction, Admiral Beresford's chapter in the story of the British Navy makes essential and entertaining reading.
