Ground-breaking history of how King Henry VIII created England's navy
'[A] detailed and atmospheric account' SUNDAY TELEGRAPH 'Moorhouse is steeped in his subject and conveys the often daunting detail of maritime plenipotence with an infectious Patrick O'Brian-like enthusiasm' THE TIMES
Geoffrey Moorhouse was ¿one of the best writers of our time¿ (Byron Rogers, The Times), ¿a brilliant historian¿ (Dirk Bogarde, Daily Telegraph) and ¿a writer whose gifts are beyond category¿ (Jan Morris, Independent on Sunday). He wrote over twenty books, on subjects ranging from travel and spirituality to cricket and rugby league. In 1982 he was elected a Fellow of the Royal Society of Literature. His To the Frontier won the Thomas Cook Award for the best travel book of its year in 1984. More recently he concentrated on Tudor history, notably with THE PILGRIMAGE OF GRACE and, in 2005, GREAT HARRY'S NAVY. He died in November 2009.
