	Thank you for drawing my attention to the book. There are so many about Trafalgar around that one does not know which one to look out for. Have you already read it? Is it as good as the comments say? Btw, I missed seeing you around. (Ответить) (Ветвь дискуссии)

	Hi, Esteven! I'm reading this book now, actually just started - chapter 2. Sometime later I'll tell you my impressions on it. Yes, I was a bit lazy lately :) Rather plenty of work, North Sea is SO crowded - make room, make room! Cheers! (Ответить) (Уровень выше) (Ветвь дискуссии)

	Though I have not read the book to the end (only half), I can say that it's a good reading. It covers not only the battle itself but draws the wide picture of time and persons involved. I enjoy reading it (Ответить) (Уровень выше) (Ветвь дискуссии)
