Reviews

'Naval Courts Martial offers an excellent introduction to the administration of justice in the Royal Navy during the period of the French Revolutionary and Napoleonic Wars... I hope that the volume encourages non-specialists to explore the fascinating legal history of the Royal Navy. In an era when practically everything is being converted into an on-line database of some sort, it is wonderfully refreshing to read a newly-bound volume of expertly edited primary documents.'
