Thanks to Andres for summarising who was fighting who in the Carlist wars in Spain. If he hasn't read any of C S Forester's "Hornblower" novels, then he has a treat in store. They are far better than the ones he quoted. They should always be read with a good Atlas available.

British and French were with the liberals and most important ports served for their war ships. In line with the historical accounts, I am interested in authors of novels about the sea in past ages. I have read books by Patrick O'Brian (Aubrey & Maturin, Master & Commander) and Alexander Kent (Richard Bolitho). Any review to other novels will be welcomed.
