Cover of Cochrane: Britannia's Sea Wolf

Cochrane: Britannia's Sea Wolf

Daring and dashing, Thomas, Lord Cochrane led an extraordinary life. This bold commander, whose exploits far exceeded those of any fictional counterpart, was dubbed the "Sea Wolf" by no less than Napoleon himself. More than just a colorful military figure, however, Cochrane entered Parliament, became a radical reformer, and fought official corruption...earning powerful enemies in the process. They plotted revenge—and very nearly succeeded—but Cochrane's final triumph as a conquering hero remains one of the most amazing tales ever told.
