Trafalgar: The Biography of a Battle (Roy Adkins)

By Roy Adkins.

'At least the equal to Stalingrad in blood, pace and telling detail' - Independant on Sunday.

'First-rate...his account of the battle is a gripping album of snapshots from the quaterdecks and gundecks of the ships themselves. Truly the most eclectic, engaging book' - Allan Mallison, Spectator. 

'Masterful...a compelling account' - Bernard Cornwell, Mail on Sunday.

21 October 1805: Britain, under Nelson, mastered the sea for six hours, annihilating her French and Spanish Opponents. In Trafalgar: The Biography of a Battle, Roy Adkins embraces the battle, its prelude and its aftermath, in a narrative that is at once scholarly and breathtakingly exciting.
