Commander by Stephen Taylor

Pellew's humanity, fondness for subordinates, and blind love for his family, and the warmth and intimacy of his letters, make him a hugely engaging figure. Stephen Taylor gives him at last the biography he deserves.
"Meticulous archival research vividly presents a real-life hero whose deeds provided material for CS. Forester’s Horatio Hornblower and Patrick O’Brian’s Jack Aubrey." -- Publishers Weekly
Stephen Taylor, a former journalist working at The Times in London, is the author of Storm and Conquest and Commander. He lives in Windsor, England.
