The battle of Trafalgar decided a nation’s fate, and this fascinating account tells the story of that crucial confrontation as it has never been told before. Many people know the facts about Nelson’s death, but far less of the battle in which he died: a single afternoon’s fighting that forever ended Napoleon’s hope of invading England. With Napoleon’s failure, the British navy reigned supreme on the high seas-a supremacy that lasted until the age of air power. David Howarth writes with great understanding about fighting amidst the perils of the sea.
