| Abstract
|
:
|
"This book, based on extensive original research in British and Scandinavian archives and making use of Saumarez' unpublished correspondence with his wife, charts the maritime and political history of the war in the Baltic. It illustrates the highly successful role the Admiral played and looks at the nature of the man himself revealed in his letters and in the private letters of Count von Rosen, Governor of Gothenburg and chief link between Saumarez and former French Marshal Bernadotte, Crown Prince of Sweden, later to be crowned King Karl XIV Johan."--BOOK JACKET.
