The British in the Adriatic, 1800–1825 brings together three detailed studies of British naval and military, diplomatic and commercial activity in the eastern Adriatic during the Napoleonic wars, drawing on original research in various British archives. A focus is the strategically important island of Vis, where there are the remains of British fortifications, another the town of Rijeka where a leading merchant had lengthy dealings with the British Navy Board for the provision of timber. The third part, hitherto unpublished, was written on the bicentenary in 2012 of Napoleon’s invasion of Russia. It investigates the unrealized plans by the British and Russians for a diversionary attack in the Adriatic.
