A brilliant yet tormented naval officer steps out from the shadow of history in this gripping portrait of Robert FitzRoy. Best known as the captain who carried Charles Darwin on a voyage that would change science forever, FitzRoy’s own life was marked by ambition, innovation, faith, and inner turmoil. This biography explores his groundbreaking work in meteorology, his fierce convictions, and the personal struggles that haunted him. Epic in scope and deeply human, it restores a complex figure to his rightful place at the center of Victorian history.
