Fitchett's four-volume history is a stirring and frankly biased account of England's role as protector and defender of civilization against what the author terms "the wild-menace of Revolutionary France and the world-threatening despotism of Napoleon." In Volume Two, Fitchett focuses on the battle for supremacy of the seas. The author describes Nelson’s expeditions, English blockades, Napoleon’s subsequent strategies, and Trafalgar—as well as the death of Pitt.
