The Office of Ordnance has been ill-served by previous accounts of its role in arming the Royal Navy during the French Revolution and Napoleonic Wars. Cole offers an in-depth examination of its organizational structure and demonstrates how the department responded to the pressures of war over an extended period of time.
'Cole has produced a fine study of an essential component of British military performance in the 1793-1815 wars.' International Journal of Maritime History 'a timely contribution...Cole has done a good job of reassessing the "much maligned" Office of Ordnance.' War in History 'This book addresses a major lacuna, namely naval supply during the Revolutionary and Napoleonic Wars, exploiting the rich archival records of the Office ... [an] excellent study.'
