About this title
"[A] finely drawn portrait that emerges from FitzRoy is of a very British hero in the mould of Nelson, who sacrificed his health and personal fortune in the service of his country."--Gavin Bell, Daily Telegraph
"FitzRoy is a fine read and a well-balanced narrative of his life, from his early days as a sailor, through to his time at the helm of the Beagle, and then onwards to his meteorological research."--Dave Musgrove, Living History
