Horatio Nelson is Britain's greatest naval hero; Trafalgar, in
1805, her greatest naval victory. Nelson and Napoleon, first
published in 2005, is the story of how Britannia came to rule the
waves for more than a hundred years. Christopher Lee re-examines
the myths of Trafalgar, plotting Napoleon's overweening ambition to
invade England and Nelson's single-minded dedication to seeking
glory. He shows how Villeneuve had worked out Nelson's famous plan
of attack, and demonstrates how the battle could easily have turned
the other way. Lee also paints a vivid picture of the protagonists:
particularly of the creation of a national hero in Nelson and his
intense rivalry with Napoleon. 'Christopher Lee's vivid and
painstaking account cuts through the folklore, replacing it with
wonderful insights into early nineteenth-century Britain and
Europe.' Daily Express
