Trafalgar: The Men by the Battle and Tim Clayton and Phil Craig

Book Description

Secondhand. Very good condition. Minor wear to book corners and edges.

Two hundred years ago, Napoleon Bonaparte dominated Europe and threatened Britain with invasion. Against him stood the Royal Navy and the already legendary Admiral Horatio Nelson. On 21 October 1805, a massive naval battle off the coast of Spain decided mastery of the seas. Then, the battleships and their exhausted crews endured a gale of awesome fury over the following days and nights.

Whether you are already familiar with this period of history or are coming to it for the first time, Trafalgar is a book that will enthral as it illuminates an event whose repercussions still echo today. (publisher blurb)
