This is the story of a great commander, Captain Robert Corbet, the most hated Navy captain of his day, and the battle for Mauritius. By 1809 the Indian Ocean was the final battleground for Nelson's Navy and the French fleet. At stake was Britain's commercial lifeline to India - and its strategic capacity to wage war in Europe.
