{"product_id":"nelsons-sailors-gregory-fremont-barnes-9781841769066","title":"Nelson's Sailors","description":"Drawing on many contemporary sources and eyewitness accounts, this book examines the lives of the ordinary sailors of the Royal Navy during the French Revolutionary and Napoleonic Wars (1793-1815), detailing their attitudes, duties, comforts, hardships, vices and virtues. The popular image of the British sailor of this time is of a press-ganged wretch living off weevil-infested food, motivated only by prize money and facing constant hazards aboard a floating hell, where discipline was maintained by the lash. The extent to which this enduring image accords with reality is revealed here.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Gregory Fremont-Barnes\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1841769061\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781841769066\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Osprey Publishing (UK)\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 08\/10\/2005\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 64\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.50lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.76h x 7.36w x 0.20d","brand":"Gregory Fremont-Barnes","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":44890881720575,"sku":"9781841769066","price":21.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_343fcba3-0a14-4cee-930f-8c488e0d1f56.jpg?v=1709740298","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/nelsons-sailors-gregory-fremont-barnes-9781841769066","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
