After an introduction about the general situation of France in 1793 and the Revolution affairs, he devotes two chapters to analyse the conditions of the French and Royal Navy in the same period, presenting many interesting and unknown details. The real sory about the Toulon siege begins after half the pages and the name of Bonaparte comes on the surface only a few times. The author deals mainly with the "allied" side explaining the decisions made by Admiral Hood, his officers and the British and Spanish generals. Carteaux, Doppe and Dumourie are somehow second rate figures as is the French republican army as a whole. There are a few nice black & white maps with all the relevant geographical points and some pages with excellent colour photographs, mainly of old paintings. Despite the Bonaparte ommision, this is a tremendous book about the fall of Toulon and highly recommended. |
