Nelson & Napoleon explores the political, social and cultural contexts for one of the most significant naval battles in history, the Battle of Trafalgar (1805). Through close examination of the careers of key characters it provides a detailed yet accessible insight into the complexities of early nineteenth-century conflict and paints a vivid picture of the events and personalities involved. This lavishly illustrated book celebrates the bicentenary of the battle, and describes in detail these objects, some of which have been photographed for the first time.
