The disaster of the loss of the HMS Prince of Wales and HMS Repulse in the defence of Singapore in December, 1941.
A Rare book .. A recollection from times aboard HMS VERNON, HECLA, VICTORY II, VENOMOUS, ANTHONY.
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.
