Expedition to Ireland

This book highlights the late 18th-century conflict among three countries-England, France and Ireland. The alliance of the Irish and French against the English was best seen in the 1797 "Expedition to Ireland" and the loss of the warship Droits de l'Homme.

Expedition to Ireland is a thumbnail account of the disastrous plan to recruit Irish rebels in their mutual struggles with Great Britain. The book is accompanied by relevant maps and illustrations. Readers of C. S. Forester's fictional series, Horatio Hornblower will recognize the names of the vessels and commanders in this actual encounter.
