Patrick O’Brian, C.S. Forester and Captain Marryat all based their literary heroes on Thomas Cochrane, but Cochrane’s exploits were far more daring and exciting than those of his fictional counterparts. He was a man of action, whose bold and impulsive nature meant he was often his own worst enemy. Writing with gripping narrative skill and drawing on his own travels and original research, Cordingly tells the rip-roaring story of a flawed Romantic hero who helped define his age.
There is a whole chapter in this book dedicated to Cochrane and the Speedy.
