520 1 $a"Horatio Nelson was undoubtedly Britain's greatest naval leader and perhaps the greatest sea commander of all time. Although his complex character often made him enemies and led to mistakes in both his public and private life, he was an unrivalled seaman, an original and brave tactician, and a charismatic leader." "The author, a renowned expert in naval history, charts Nelson's career from his first naval posting in peacetime, at the age of just twelve, to his rapid rise through the ranks, his command of the Mediterranean Fleet in HMS Victory, the transformation of his reputation during the Nile Campaign and his heroic death at Trafalgar. The book examines the forces and events which shaped Nelson's life - the victories and defeats, and the successes and failures - to discover the reasons for his extraordinary fame, both in his own time and to this day. Lavery sets the events of Nelson's maritime career against the backdrop of his personal life - his marriage and the scandal of his menage-a-trois with the Hamiltons - to reveal a man of determination, courage and daring."--BOOK JACKET.
