"Master and Commander" covers chapter 2 (approximately) of a
Cochrane biography I read a few years ago...

Are you referring to the movie or the book?

The book!

The film has very little in common with the book apart from
the title. As bad as it gets IMHO.

I'd have to go back and see the movie again, but I think it was taken from
a few parts of several of the Aubrey series.
