About the Author
Peter Padfield is a leading naval historian and biographer. He trained for the sea as a cadet in H.M.S.Worcester, subsequently serving in the P & O Line. In 1957 he sailed under Cdr. Alan Villiers in the replica pilgrim bark, Mayflower II, from Plymouth, England to Plymouth, Massachusetts, where Mayflower is now preserved. Working his passage to the south Pacific he sailed among the Solomon Islands before leaving the sea and settling with his wife in Suffolk, England. His first major book, The Titanic and the Californian defended the captain of the Californian from the charge of not going to Titanic’s rescue. He subsequently turned to naval subjects, particularly great gunnery, strategy and tactics. His biography of the U-boat admiral, Karl Dönitz, led him to a portrayal of submarine warfare in War Beneath the Sea, and to biographies of other leading Nazis, Heinrich Himmler and Rudolf Hess, subsequently translated into many European languages. Latterly he has returned to naval history, attempting to bring it out of the specialist closet and present it as a major determinant of the modern world in a trilogy whose second volume, Maritime Power and the Struggle for Freedom, won the Mountbatten Maritime Prize, 2003.

NELSON'S WAR
Seller: Military History Books, Weymouth, DORSE, United Kingdom
Seller rating 4 out of 5 stars
(Subject: Naval & Maritime: Ships, Submarines & Other Vessels - General) Between 1793 and 1805 a series of naval battles fought against the new French Republic gained for Great Britain what historians later called the Empire of the Seas. This period of almost unrelieved blockade and battle culminating in Trafalgar is now viewed as one of the great turning points in history. It also saw the emergence of revolutionary fleet tactics by the British that exploited the disorganisation of their demoralised opponent's fleets.
