After an autumn of devotion to college football at the expense of reading, I may be a little too excited to have gotten my hands on these three books today:
Clive: Life and Death of a British Emperor, by Robert Harvey,
Cochrane: Life and Exploits of a Fighting Captain, by the same, and
To Rule the Waves: How the British Navy Shaped the Modern World, by Arthur Herman.
Turn off the TV, Ma!
