  • "A colorful and dramatic account of Admiral Horatio Nelson and his contemporaries."@en
  • "Christopher Hibbert recounts the events of Nelson's life, from the morning when the diminutive midshipman stood nervously on the dockyard at Chatham, wondering how to get aboard his ship and enter the strange world of the Navy, until the long afternoon when, as Admiral, he lay dying. Hibbert brilliantly illuminates Nelson's personality, his personal and political friendships, his relationship with Sir William Hamilton, and his passionate love affair with Hamilton's wife, the beautiful Emma - daughter of a blacksmith, once a London prostitute, and the mother of his adored illegitimate daughter."@en
  • "Britain's greatest naval hero, Nelson, was a complex and contradictory character. Fiercely patriotic and extraordinarily brave, he was also vain and boastful, and, while honourable in his role as an admiral, was less so in his personal life. Gives an intimate and compelling portrait of Nelson derived from letters and family papers, some of which were brought to light expecially for this biography."
  • "When News of the battle of Trafalgar reached London on a foggy November morning in 1805."@en
