Description

You are considering a hardcover book, with DJ: THE WAR FOR ALL THE OCEANS: FROM NELSON AT THE NILE TO NAPOLEON AT WATERLOO by Roy Adkins and Lesley Adkins; PUBLISHER: Viking, NYC, NY; 2007 printing; 534 pages. $30.00 price on DJ flap. From its very first page, The War for All the Oceans is an adventure story--a superb account of the naval war that lasted from Napoleon's seizure of power in 1798 to the War of 1812 with the United States. Most naval histories stop at Nelson's death at the Battle of Trafalgar in 1805. Yet the Royal Navy took on almost every other nation that had a rival fleet: the French, Spanish, Dutch, Danes, Russians, Turks, and Americans. Shipping routes all over the world were guarded to ensure that trade with Britain was not interrupted and, as Napoleon lost his empire, Britain formed solid, imperial foundations--all because the British navy gained control of the oceans.

Due to volume, however, I have a noon cut-off, so, if your payment is received after 12:00 noon, it will not be mailed until at least the next business day. Saturdays and Sundays are not business days. Occasionally, I am out of town on Fridays or Mondays. Packages that will be traveling by FedEx Ground or UPS may take an extra day to get shipped as I am not close to their drop-off locations.

Please check with your country's customs office to determine what these additional costs will be prior to bidding / buying. These charges are normally collected by the delivering freight (shipping) company or when you pick the item up do not confuse them for additional shipping charges. I will not mark merchandise values below value or mark items as "gifts" as US and International government regulations prohibit such behavior.
