Nelson - A Personal History (Paperback, New edition)

Britain's greatest naval hero, Nelson was a complex and contradictory character. Fiercely patriotic and extraordinarily brave, he was also vain, boastful and, while honourable in his role as an Admiral, was less so in his personal life. This highly acclaimed biography gives an intimate and compelling portrait of Nelson derived from letters and family papers, some of which were brought to light especially for this biography.
