Nelson by Edgar Vincent
The story of Horatio Nelson's life - his naval glory, public fame, charismatic leadership, scandalous romance, and untimely death as he led the British to victory at Trafalgar. Edgar Vincent builds on research and examines primary sources in order to enlarge our understanding of Nelson as a man.
"Nelson: Love and Fame has the potential to prove a great success, to be very popular indeed, and to establish itself as the fullest and best life of Nelson for a generation" Rory Muir, author of Tactics and the Experience of Battle in the Age of Napoleon
