Hardback. Etat : Fine. Etat de la jaquette : Very Good. First Edition. SLOOP OF WAR Alexander Kent. Hutchinson, London 1972 First Edition ISBN 0091112907 320pp Hardback. This copy is in fine unmarked condition save for the stamp of a previous owner to the rear of the half title. The unclipped dustwrapper has some mild edge wear but is still entire. For the young Richard Bolitho the spring of 1778 marked a complete transformation for himself and his future. It was the year in which the American War of Independence changed to an all-out struggle for freedom from British rule - and the year when Bolitho took command of the Sparrow, a small, fast and well-armed sloop of war. As the pace of war increased, the Sparrow was called from one crisis to another - and when the great fleets of Britain and France converged on the Chesapeake, Bolitho had to throw aside the early dreams of his first command to find maturity in a sea battle that might decide the fate of a whole continent.
