Horatio Nelson, 1st Viscount Nelson (1758 1805) is considered one
of the greatest naval commanders in British history, having
establishing Britain's naval dominance with victories during the
French Revolutionary and Napoleonic Wars. His death at the height
of the Battle of Trafalgar ensured that his memory became revered.
These volumes, first published in 1809 (and reissued here from the
1840 edition), contain Nelson's official biography, published with
the blessing of his family. The authors Clarke and McArthur trace
Nelson's life from his childhood until his dramatic death at
Trafalgar, using Nelson's own reminiscences, his letters to his
wife, and interviews and statements from close friends and
colleagues. This biography remains a valuable source for Nelson's
early career and character, and provides insights into how the cult
of Nelson was created and sustained. Volume 2 covers Nelson's life
between 1797 and 1803.
