Revenge of the Wolf: The Forgotten Admiral Who Shaped the Modern World - 3000

REVENGE OF THE WOLF The Reckless Brilliance of Lord Cochrane He fought for Britain. He bled for South America. He defied an empire—and became a legend. Before Hornblower, before Jack Aubrey, there was the real Sea Wolf. Vice Admiral Lord Thomas Cochrane was one of the most daring naval commanders in history. From his impossible victory against the Spanish frigate El Gamo to revolution campaigns in Chile, Brazil, and Greece, Cochrane rewrote the rules of war—and paid the price. Praised by Napoleon, hated by the Admiralty, and immortalized in fiction, Cochrane’s life was more dramatic than anything written about him. He captured ships twice his size, faked naval invasions with fireworks, and went from hero to prisoner to redeemed war legend—all before being buried in Westminster Abbey with full honors. Blending true history with the pulse of an action thriller, Revenge of the Wolf is the untold story of a man too bold for his own time—and too brilliant to be forgotten. Perfect for readers who love: Master and Commander The Da Vinci Code–style historical thrillers Real-life heroes who outfoxed empires High-seas adventure, espionage, and naval battles
