The Memoirs of Admiral Lord Beresford
The Memoirs of Admiral Lord Charles Beresford, published in 1914, recount a career of more than half a century in the Royal Navy and in politics. Beresford entered the service as a boy in 1859, commanded the gunboat Condor under fire at the bombardment of Alexandria in 1882, took part in the Nile expedition sent to relieve Gordon at Khartoum, sat in the House of Commons as a Conservative, and rose to command the Mediterranean and Channel fleets before his bitter public quarrel with Admiral Fisher over naval reform. He writes as he spoke, bluntly and with many anecdotes, and the book is a record of the Victorian navy by one of its most popular and quarrelsome officers. It is available to read online in your browser on Vinteuil, with the first chapter free.
