 | For God and Glory: Lord Nelson and His Way of War by Joel S. A. Hayward

 | Nelson: The Man and the Legend by Terry Coleman
Buy new: £6.99 / Used from: £0.01 Coleman wanted to make a name for himself by being a Nelson revisionist. Problem is: no-one found his arguments persuasive. Still essential reading though.
