Nelson's War (Wordsworth Military Library)

Editorial Reviews
Book Description
Between 1793 and 1805 Britian fought a series of naval battles against the new French Republic.This period of almost unrelieved blockade and battle culminating in Trafalgar, which gained for Britain what later historians were to call 'The Empire of the Seas', can now be viewed as one of the great turning points in history. Horatio Nelson, slight in physique, audacious and commanding in character, and truly a legend in his own lifetime, dominated the period. Peter Padfield throws controversial light on the battle tactics of the famous actions at Camperdown, the Nile, Copenhagen and Trafalgar to show just how unconventional they were.
