Fisher's Face
Admiral of the Fleet Lord 'Jacky' Fisher (1841-1920) was one of the greatest naval reformers in history. This book offer an evocation that is both biography and a love letter, an expression of the author's passionate interest in mavericks and outsiders, in travel, ships and the glorious pageantry of the British Empire in its prime.
