About the Book

The period prior to the French Revolution and the Napoleonic Wars was one of intense industrial espionage. Daniel Lescallier was one of France's most influential spies, his main aim being to obtain information about the British navy. The context is the story of Daniel Lescallier and his other similar missions.

Review :
"This book is an invaluable historical source illustrating the very ancient practice of industrial espionage and Franco-British naval rivalry in the 18th century... This study contributes to a better knowledge of technology transfer among European navies at the end of the 18th century and enables the reader to acquire a better understanding of the industrial factors behind, for example, the naval power of a State." - Professor Sylviane Llinares, Universite de Bretagne Sud (France)"
