For My Country’s Freedom

by Alexander Kent Book 23 in the Richard Bolitho series.

First published 1995

4.4(1,707)

In 1811, Admiral Richard Bolitho is recalled after only a short peace in Cornwall. Relations with the United States are collapsing, and he is ordered to lead a fast squadron from the Caribbean to Halifax in an attempt to protect trade and prevent political confrontation from becoming open war.

Bolitho selects officers he trusts and develops tactics suited to a scattered maritime frontier, but distance and uncertain diplomacy repeatedly undermine his plans. He must prepare to fight people who share Britain’s language and naval traditions while deciding whether service to his country will ever permit him to leave the sea.
