Keppel's rise from midshipman to admiral was marked by his skill as a naval commander, his relationships with notable figures such as Captain James Cook and John Paul Jones, and his controversial court martial for failing to engage the French fleet in 1778. Drawing on primary source documents and interviews with Keppel's family and contemporaries, the author provides a vivid portrait of a complex and compelling figure in British naval history.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis work has been selected by scholars as being culturally important, and is part of the knowledge base of civilization as we know it.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis work is in the \"public domain in the United States of America, and possibly other nations.
