In this biography of Horatio Nelson, Ernle Bradford discusses Nelson’s own battles, but also looks at naval warfare of the period in general. The author describes the strategies, the tactics, the ponderous ship-to-ship bombardments, the terrifying injuries, as well as Nelson’s policy of annihilation of the opposing fleet, making the point that Nelson regarded the escape of a single enemy ship as a failure. With illustrations & maps
At Trafalgar about 22% of the crew of Nelsons Victory we volunteers . In 1945 the RNVR boosted by maby wartime volunteers was providing no less than 88% of officer in the Navy.
A Book which not only tells the tail of one mans experiences of the Royal Navy as he saw it but which also faithfully records the essence and spirit of the service as it once was
