Nelson Speaks: Admiral Lord Nelson in His Own Words by Joseph F Callo

After two centuries of biographies and analyses, Admiral Lord Nelson speaks for himself in this collection of excerpts from his private letters and dispatches. Through Nelson's own words readers come to fully appreciate the admiral's insights and opinions. With chapters devoted to such subjects as duty, combat, politics, sea power, life and death, and Nelson's views of himself and his wife, Frances Nisbet, and mistress, Lady Hamilton, the book offers an array of memorable quotations. Each is placed in context to give contemporary dimension to the words. Engravings depicting events in Nelson's life accompany the text.

Joseph F Callo is a retired rear admiral in the US Naval Reserve, but as a civilian he held senior positions with major advertising agencies and was an award-winning television producer and scriptwriter for NBC, PBS, and cable programmes. His book Legacy of Leadership: Lessons from Admiral Lord Nelson, was published in 1999 and his articles regularly appear in leading magazines and newspapers throughout the USA. He divides his time between New York City and Kansas City, Missouri.
