The Frontier Sea: The Napoleonic Wars in the Adriatic

This is an introduction by the author to his book that examines the campaigns, armies, navies and personalities that fought in the eastern Adriatic between 1797 and 1815. Austrian, French, Russian, British, and their foreign regiments fought up and down the coast. Sometimes with or against local leaders like Peter I of Montenegro and Ali Pasha of Ioannina.
This is a story of strategy and small wars with many colourful personalities playing their part in a fascinating, if violent, tale against the backdrop of the frontier sea.
