A Dangerous Game: Thomas Cochrane's Life on the Edge with Peter Moore

A Dangerous Game: Thomas Cochrane's Life on the Edge launch with Peter Moore

An event held at Bookhaus on Monday 23rd November. The event starts at 18:00.

The astonishing true story of Thomas Cochrane – naval hero, political radical and inspiration for Patrick O’Brian’s Jack Aubrey – whose audacity at sea, scandals on land and battles across empires make for a tale as thrilling as any novel.

Cochrane’s life was even more remarkable than the fiction it inspired. A hero of the Napoleonic Wars, known for destroying the French Atlantic fleet in one explosive attack, he was an equally aggressive force in British politics as the radical MP for Westminster.
