Nelson Immortal Memory - Softcover

Nelson The Immortal Memory - Softcover     Synopsis: Here -- from two of the United Kingdom's finest naval historians -- is an immensely human portrait of Horatio Nelson, the most brilliant and honored naval leader Britain has ever known. Nelson was a myriad of contradictions -- humble yet ambitious, kind but at times petulant, unswerving in his sense of professional duty yet involved in a scandalous love affair. The Howarths evoke a remarkable sense of what it was like to sail the seas in Nelson's day. The great battles at St. Vincent and Copenhagen spring to life, as do the achievements of the British who blockaded fleet off the French coast before the victory at Trafalgar -- a victory so decisive that it put an end to war at sea for a century.       Please Note: These are closeout books.  They might have scuffs and scratches but lets get realistic they are meant to be read!
