Agrégé et docteur en histoire
Published by Éditions La Geste, Le Chirurgien de l’Hermione by Javier Garcia tells the story of Adrien Pierre Fabré, a surgeon-major in the French Royal Navy who sailed aboard the Hermione during Lafayette’s voyage to America in 1780. Through this long-overlooked figure, the book explores maritime history, naval medicine, Rochefort, and the Franco-American alliance during the War of Independence.
