"We tend to assume that children are somehow protected by their innocence...
This is because the author's masterwork is an astonishing naval saga set in Napoleonic times during England's long sea war with France, and it extends now to 19 closely linked novels. The latest, The Hundred Days (W.W. Norton; 282 pages; $24) is just out. And O'Brian, now close to 85, is busily at work on a 20th...
