About the book

Robert Southey's The Life of Nelson presents the remarkable career of Admiral Horatio Nelson, Britain's most celebrated naval commander. From his early years at sea to his great victories during the wars against Revolutionary and Napoleonic France, the biography follows Nelson's rise to national fame. Particular attention is given to battles such as the Nile, Copenhagen and Trafalgar, where Nelson's bold tactics and leadership helped establish British naval supremacy. The book also considers his complex personality and personal relationships, culminating in his death at Trafalgar in 1805 at the moment of his greatest victory.
