The Inshore Squadron

by Alexander Kent Book 15 in the Richard Bolitho series.

First published 1978

4.5(1,723)

In 1800, newly promoted Rear-Admiral Richard Bolitho takes command of an inshore squadron operating from European waters into the Baltic. Years of fighting have taught him how to win battles, but not how to manage alliances, diplomatic pressure and the rival ambitions surrounding an admiral’s flag.

Blockade duty, winter hardship and sudden coastal actions test the squadron while an enemy from Bolitho’s past turns policy into a personal contest. As the campaign approaches Copenhagen, he must set private anger aside and coordinate ships whose survival depends upon disciplined action under confused political orders.
