Storm and Conquest by Stephen Taylor
By 1809, the Indian Ocean was the final battleground for Nelson's Navy and the French fleet. At stake was Britain's commercial lifeline to India. In one fatal season, the natural order of maritime power since Trafalgar was destroyed. This work brings together the terrifying ordeal of men, women and children caught at sea in hurricanes.
Stephen Taylor grew up in South Africa, and now works for The Times. He is the author of several celebrated books on Africa, most recently The Caliban Shore, which was described by Paul Theroux as 'a wonderful book, hugely satisfying on many levels'.
