TRAFALGAR
by John Terraine
superbly illustrated book describing one of the most famous battles of all time, which shattered Napoleon's dream of invading the England.
Amplifying the details of the battle is a lengthy selection of contemporary eye witness accounts specially compiled for this book which paint a fresh picture of the maritime engagements of the Napoleonic wars.
This story is not just of the morning and afternoon in which Nelson and Colling wood smashed the combined fleets of France and Spain but also that of a complex campaign of which Trafalgar was the climax.
It shows the protagonists were not admirals Villeneuve and Nelson but Napoleon and the British naval tradition
