Customer Reviews

An absolute must!
You've heard them say "If you see one film this year.....", well if you are at all interested in the life of Lord Nelson or his navy then listen up.... "If you buy one book this year, make sure it's this one". This book has taken years of painstaking and meticulous research and knowledge to come up with this definitive chronological account of Nelson and the ship's he served in. Not just a bunch of drawings and plans but an intimate look at the workings of the navy at that time and the people involved in the battles fought. It takes pride of place in my collection.
