Here's a stunningly illustrated guide to the ships; weapons; uniforms; and equipment described in Patrick O'Brian's sequence of 20 popular novels about the 19th-century British Royal Navy officer Jack Aubrey and his surgeon colleague Stephen Maturin. Called "the best historical novels every written" by The New York Times; the books have sold more than three million copies and inspired the epic film adaptation starring Russell Crowe. A must for any O'Brian enthusiast; this volume boasts striking full-color photographs illustrating a vast array of equipment; medals; weapons; and other objects; and is unique in that many of the featured items are actual battle relics; such as the coat Admiral Nelson wore at the Battle of Trafalgar -- complete with bullet hole.
