I thought I would bring to notice 'Jack Tar' by Roy and Leslie Adkins, Abacus ppbk 2009. Trained as archaeologists, the Adkins have branched out into naval history and have done an amazing job in getting under the skin of Nelson's navy as seen from the lower deck.
I could go on and on about this book but perhaps sufficient to recommend it very strongly to anyone who has served in the RN and wants to know what it was like two hundred years ago.
