Description
8vo., First Edition, with portrait frontispiece, 10 plates on 6, and 3 facsimiles and 2 maps (one double-page) in the text; navy cloth, gilt back, a near fine copy in unclipped dustwrapper. Even by the rip-roaring standards of the time Admiral Dudley de Chair's career was packed with incident. His autobiography begins with his service as a midshipman with the Mediterranean Fleet, his imprisonment by Arabi Pasha (during which Queen Victoria led a national outcry), his uneasy relationship with Churchill and his final command of the renowned Tenth Cruiser Squadron in WWI.
