About this title

Review:

'It is not simply the elegant style delivered with magisterial authority, or the sharp understanding of what's significant and what isn't, or even the fine storyteller's gift; it is, above all, the sheer diligence with which the author has done his research' Guardian on NELSON 'This book is written in the very best of revisionist history: it is well-researched, closely argued and at odds with received wisdom, long overdue' Sunday Telegraph on NELSON 'This momentous movement has now found its perfect chronicler. Coleman is that rare phenomenon, an absolutely original writer' The Times on PASSAGE TO AMERICA

From the Publisher:
