Dudley Pope
The story of the greatest British naval battle of the Age of Nelson.
Renowned historian and novelist Dudley Pope explores the defining
moment of the Age of Nelson. His compelling descriptions of the battle
itself are backed by a wealth of historical detail, including a chronicle
of the preceding year, revealing both the British and the French political
motives, and explaining Nelson's strategy and Napoleon's response. Pope
creates an intimate portrait of the life in the Royal Navy at its finest
hour.
