 Book review: Lieutenant Hornblower by C. S. Forester (Fiction)   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-31)
Hornblower subtly guides them to the actions and decisions that he wants from them without overstepping the top-down chain-of-command structure of the 1800s British navy, in which the captain enjoys the omnipotence granted by the king over crew and officers alike.
Interestingly, Hornblower survives the paranoia of a mad captain, the indecisiveness and incompetence of an inept first lieutenant, harrowing sea and land battles with the Spanish, and delicate diplomatic maneuverings with the Spanish and with the highest levels of naval representatives, only to succumb to an unattractive but smitten woman.
Lieutenant Hornblower is an exciting, fast-paced read that may convince you to investigate the rest of the series.

Midshipman Hornblower is a short book, aimed at children of an age I couldn't quite place (perhaps young teenagers?), and is told as a series of ten standalone stories of about 30 pages each.
The story starts in 1793 and concerns the adventures of Horatio Hornblower (born July 4th, 1776--though I confess the point of the joke escapes me), commissioned as a midshipman in His Britannic Majesty's Royal Navy and sent to sea on blockade duty.
The series continues for a total of 10 books, at which point Hornblower has become an admiral and is continuing his adventures in the West Indies (or at least so we can assume since the title of the last book is Admiral Hornblower in the West Indies).
