Given the period I write about (1793-1815), I was particularly interested in The Napoleonic Wars title, ably penned by Martin Robson. This looks at the history of the Royal Navy during the French Revolutionary and Napoleonic Wars from a broad perspective, examining the strategy, operations and tactics of British seapower. A helpful appendix of sources for each chapter, along with a bibliography appears at the end of the book. It will certainly join the list of books I recommend as enlightening overviews of this fascinating period.

Hi Julian,
Another book of interest to you would be Sovereign of the Seas – the story of British sea power by David Howarth. This single volume book covers the period from 459 AD to the Second World War.
