Description

There has been several biographies of Nelson, but many neglect to enter the mythology encrusting Britain's greatest naval hero. Steve Sugden has analyzed a large number of military, naval, diplomatic and individual files. He's ruthlessly stripped out the stories and superbly rebuilt Nelson's public and personal life. Nelson: An Imagine Glory graphs the time of Nelson's job most overlooked by earlier authors -- from youth to his introduction as a public idol following the spectacular triumph contrary to the Spanish fleet at Cape St Vincent, when he became an admiral and stood on the brink of international recognition.
