Publisher Description

Having entered the British Navy at the age of twelve, Horatio Lord Nelson achieved the rank of captain at the age of twenty. As captain, he was quickly recognized as a magnetic and controversial figure. He triumphed at Cape St. Vincent and the Nile but failed at Tenefife and Boulogne. With the glories of Copenhagen and Trafalgar yet ahead of him, his ardent passion for Emma Hamilton, the wife of a British Ambassador, cast a heavy shadow over his career.

Audacious in battle (he once ignored a superior's order to cease action at Copenhagen by putting his telescope to his blind eye and saying he could not see the signal) and winner of some of Britain's greatest victories, Nelson possessed an extraordinary amount of dash and courage, thus rendering him one of history's great romantic figures.

This extensive biography of one of England's most famous navy heroes—a great commander able to inspire and bring out the best in his men—is a great reference work for anyone interested in British naval history.

" Surprisingly the only Lord Nelson biographies on audiobook and one of very few in print. Someone needs to get busy and start writing. "
— John, 8/9/2011
Overall Performance:
" The book is way too dry for my taste. I'm currently about half way through and I'm struggling to finish it. The book has no sense of action to it, and just has the feeling that the topic is so boring that the author had no feeling for the subject. As a huge Nelson fan I was disappointed "
