Storm and Conquest: The Battle for the Indian Ocean, 1808-10 by Stephen Taylor is a gripping account of the infamous Battle for Mauritius, between Nelson's navy and the French fleet.
Stephen Taylor grew up in South Africa, and now works for The Times. He is the author of several celebrated books on Africa, most recently The Caliban Shore, which was described by Paul Theroux as 'a wonderful book, hugely satisfying on many levels' and by Jan Morris as 'masterly ... A great adventure story.'
