This book is the first in English on the life of Francois Peron. Wherever possible Peron's own words are quoted and in the interests of maintaining the immediacy and atmosphere of his reports, the translations have not been modenised except in the interests of clarity.

No apology is made for including in the story those aspects of French Revolutionary and Napoleonic politics, science and medicine which are essential to an understanding of Peron's life and work.
