Horatio Nelson was one of the most successful leaders Britain has
ever produced. A legend in his own lifetime, he has inspired many
hundreds of books, but few of these concentrated on him as a naval
commander. After that much new material emerged, both as a result
of the ground-breaking Nelson Letters Project and in a series of
international conferences on Nelson's battles involving French,
Spanish and Danish historians. In particular, the discovery of
Nelson's personal order books and battle plans transformed our
understanding of his command methods. Colin White was at the
forefront of all these developments and made many of the most
exciting new discoveries himself. He was ideally placed as Director
of the Royal Naval Museum to offer a fresh analysis of Nelson's
tactics and leadership style. He presented gripping new narratives
of all three of Nelson's great battles, the Nile (1798), Copenhagen
(1801) and Trafalgar (1805) and brilliantly showed how the British
triumph at Trafalgar was the culmination of years of thought and
experimentation on Nelson's part, and by his contemporaries and
predecessors. White demonstrated Nelson's remarkable administrative
skills and his abilities as a diplomat and intelligence officer -
aspects of his leadership not fully highlighted before. The result
is an enthrallingly different portrait of Nelson as an admiral -
more rounded and more insightful than any yet achieved. Officially
endorsed by the Royal Navy and the Royal Naval Museum, this book is
lavishly illustrated in colour and black and white with over
seventy images drawn from the collections of the Royal Naval Museum
and National Maritime Museum, and with specially drawn diagrams
illustrating Nelson's battles and campaigns.
