What made Nelson so special? What individual quality led Byron
rightly to celebrate Nelson's genius as 'Britannia's God of War'?
Andrew Lambert demonstrates how Nelson elevated the business of
naval warfare to the level of the sublime. Where his predecessors
and opponents saw a particular battle as an end in itself, Nelson -
even in the midst of terrifying, close-quarters action - was
concerned to exploit the victory he was achieving. Nelson explores
the professional, personal, intellectual and practical origins of
the man's genius, to understand how the greatest warrior that
Britain has ever produced transformed the art of conflict, and
enabled his country to survive the challenge of total war and
international isolation.
