Summary
This book examines two significant naval battles between Britain and Denmark during the Napoleonic Wars. The first battle in 1801 saw Nelson's famous victory at Copenhagen. The second in 1807 involved the British bombardment of Copenhagen and seizure of the Danish fleet to prevent it from falling into Napoleon's hands. Gareth Glover provides detailed analysis of both conflicts, exploring the military strategies, political circumstances, and consequences of these confrontations that transformed Denmark from a neutral power into a French ally.
