Description

The Frontier Sea by Dave Watson explores the often-overlooked Adriatic campaigns during the Napoleonic Wars. This period saw great powers like Austria, France, Russia, and Britain vying for control of the region, with local leaders like Peter I of Montenegro and Ali Pasha of Ioannina playing key roles. The book delves into the strategy and small wars that took place along the Adriatic coast between 1797 and 1815. With many commanders far from home, junior officers were often left to make important decisions, adding a layer of complexity to the conflicts. This narrative is driven by the colourful personalities involved, set against the backdrop of a violent and fascinating tale. A detailed examination of the armies, navies, and personalities that fought in the region provides a unique insight into this lesser-known chapter of history.
