"Deeds that Won the Empire" by W. H. Fitchett is a historical account written in the late 19th century.

The opening of the book sets a reflective tone, expressing the intent to honor patriotism through recounting tales of triumph and bravery rather than glorifying war itself. Fitchett introduces us to a narrative structure that details several key battles, starting with a vivid portrayal of the battle off Cape St. Vincent in the late 18th century. The description immerses readers in the tension and strategies at play, particularly highlighting Admiral Jervis and Nelson's tactical ingenuity in confronting a larger Spanish fleet.
