Malcolm Hardy
will introduce the new English edition of his book
The British and Vis
War in the Adriatic 1805-15
This publication forms part of a larger project concerning the activity of the British in the Adriatic in the latter period of the wars against Napoleon 1804-15. It attempts an integrated approach covering military and naval as well as political and diplomatic aspects, and uses hitherto unpublished material. A detailed study, it presents the context in which it became increasingly important for the British to occupy and fortify the strategically-important island of Vis, and the slow development of British intentions and their realisation.
Copies of the publication will be available at a special introductory price RSVP: Flora Turner tel/fax 0207 387 3276 - Nearest underground stations Warren Street and Great Portland Street |
