Good Enough For Nelson
by John Winton
The Bodger's back! The cry that strikes dread into the heart of every midshipman at the Britannia Naval College, Dartmouth, will delight John Winton's many admirers. It means that at last Captain Robert Bollinger Badger, D.S.C., R.N., known throughout the Navy as the Artful Bodger, has returned to the scene of his earlier triumphs - as described in John Winton's best-selling novels We Joined the Navy, Down the Hatch. and We Saw the Sea. But now the Bodger is in command of the College. Empires may crumble. Hell's foundations quiver, but Dartmouth remains the same - at least on the surface. But the Bodger soon discovers that the Royal Navy's role has changed in many ways in the 1970s - and not all the changes are to the Bodger's liking .. . John Winton's knowledge of the modern Navy is unrivalled, and Good Enough For Nelson shows him back at the top of his form - with a delightful and satisfying blend of humour and insight. 'If anyone is the true descendant of Wodehouse, it is John Winton.' Books and Bookmen
