Featured battle : Mannheim
Part of The French Revolutionary and Napoleonic Wars
Date : 20 September 1795
Hardly a battle with no casualties on either side but a serious defeat for the Austrians. The Bavarians negotiated with the French and handed over the fortress, the Austrians had to withdraw in haste. The French were given an important crossing point on the Rhine.

Pilot Cutters Under Sail
Tom Cunliffe
Not only an authorative review of the development of these special craft but a social history of a 'special' working group. There is plenty of well researched 'meat' for the specialist but it is so well written as to be accessible and to be enjoyed by the interested reader. Some previous knowledge of small boat sailing is helpful otherwise read the last two chapters first. Although it could be a 'coffee-table book' once started I found it difficult to put down.
