HORATIO NELSON is the most famous admiral in history. His string of victories helped secure Britain's place as the world's dominant maritime power, a position she held for more than a century after Nelson's death. A young officer during the American Revolution, Nelson rose to prominence during Britain's war with Revolutionary France, becoming a national hero following his exploits at the battle of Cape St Vincent. He went on to win strategically decisive victories at the Nile and Copenhagen, before leading the British to their historic victory at Trafalgar in 1805, where he was killed in his hour of triumph. More than two centuries later, the Royal Navy still sees it as its finest achievement. This book reveals the real Nelson, a naval genius but a flawed individual whose vanity, ego and scandalous private life all threatened to overshadow his immense abilities.
