Extrait Du Journal D'un Officier De La Marine De L'escadre De M. Le Comte D'estaing

En 1778, l'aviateur Jean-Pierre Blanchard se lie d'amitié avec le comte d'Estaing, un aristocrate et amiral français qui commande alors une escadre de guerre dans les Caraïbes pour soutenir les insurgés américains pendant la guerre d'Indépendance. Dans cet extrait de journal, le comte d'Estaing raconte l'une des batailles navales les plus importantes de cette guerre, la bataille de Sainte-Lucie. Un témoignage vif et poignant.
