Description

Over two hundred years ago, the mighty Royal Navy was the unchallenged master of the seas. But England’s ‘wooden walls’ were the only bastion of security against the ambitions of Napoleon Bonaparte. Only the audacious and clever tactics of a small, frail man who was often seasick stood between Napoleon and his invasion of England. Admiral Horatio Nelson’s three greatest naval battles at the Nile, Copenhagen and Trafalgar landed the triple blows which sank Napoleon’s dreams. Through detailed diagrams and colorful descriptions, learn how Nelson and his ‘Band of Brothers’ planned and executed the battles which cost him his life and made his name legend.
