The classic memoir of a sailor who blew-the-whistle on the British Navy.In 1805 William Wells Robinson joined the Royal Navy. He saw action in numerous campaigns of the Napoleonic Wars, including the Battle of Trafalgar.After six years of service, Robinson deserted - a hanging offence in a time of war. For the next two decades he kept his head low, but in 1836 Robinson published a powerful memoir of his service in the Royal Navy - the first by a common sailor.Robinson's book confronted the draconian disciplinary system and the use of impressment - the capturing and forcing of men into naval service. Predicting a less than favourable response from the Royal Navy, Robinson chose to publish the book under a pseudonym, that of 'Jack Nasty-Face'.The British press praised the book for its 'plain narrative of facts - facts of an amusing and heartrending nature, ' and called for parliament to investigate 'the copious injustices and cruelties' meted out by Royal Naval officers.The Navy
