The diaries of Louis Montbatten, young naval officer, aged nineteen, who accompanied his cousin the Prince of Wales on a royal tour of New Zealand and Australia, will enthral expert and general reader alike. This was followed the following year, 1921, by a tour of India and Japan.
`I say he will be a second Nelson’. Emma Hamilton’s words reflect – can we doubt it? – the enthusiasm of her famous lover. Nelson seems to have made it clear to the brilliant young officer whose career he had fostered from the day that he took him to sea that he thought of him as his professional heir. Even, on a personal level, as the son that neither wife nor mistress had been able to give him.
The dramatic story of the deadly competition in Dreadnought battleships between Great Britain and Imperial Germany in the years before the First World War.
