Patrick O'Brian, C.S. Forester and Captain Marryat all based their literary heroes on Thomas Cochrane, but Cochrane's exploits were far more daring and exciting than those of his fictional counterparts. He was a man of action, whose bold and impulsive nature meant he was often his own worst enemy. Writing with gripping narrative skill and drawing on his own travels and original research, Cordingly tells the rip-roaring story of a flawed Romantic hero who helped define his age.

Admiral Thomas Cochrane, 10th Earl of Dundonald, Marques do Maranhao GCB RN (1775-1860), styled Lord Cochrane between 1778 and 1831, was a naval officer and radical politician. He was one of the most daring and successful captains of the Napoleonic Wars, leading the French to nickname him "le loup des mers" ("the sea wolf"). After being dismissed from the Royal Navy, he served in the rebel navies of Chile, Brazil and Greece during their wars of independence, before being reinstated as an admiral in the Royal Navy. His life and exploits served as inspiration for the naval fiction of twentieth- century novelists C. S. Forester's Horatio Hornblower and Patrick O'Brian's Jack Aubrey. His biography, The Life of Thomas, Lord Cochrane, Tenth Earl of Dundonald (2 volumes) (1869) was written by his son, Thomas Barnes Cochrane, 11th Earl of Dundonald (1814-1885) and Henry Richard Fox Bourne (1837-1909).
