"My Adventures During the Late War: A Narrative of Shipwreck, Captivity, Escapes from French Prisons, and Sea Service in 1804-14" by Donat Henchy O’Brien is a historical account written in the early 20th century. This memoir chronicles the experiences of O’Brien, a British naval officer who survived shipwreck, endured captivity, and eluded numerous attempts to return to freedom during the Napoleonic Wars. The book provides a vivid depiction of the struggles faced by O’Brien and his fellow prisoners, making it an engaging read for those interested in maritime history and personal narratives of wartime experiences. The opening of the narrative details the catastrophic wreck of the frigate "Hussar" as it attempts to deliver important despatches amidst treacherous weather conditions. O’Brien describes the crew's desperate attempts to save the ship and their eventual surrender to the French. Following their capture, the prisoners are transported under harsh conditions to various locations in France, where they must navigate the complexities of being captives during wartime while maintaining their dignity and sense of camaraderie. The initial chapters set the stage for O’Brien's subsequent exploits in escaping from captivity and highlight the challenges and resilience of those involved in the naval engagements of the era.
