The Boys' Nelson

The career of the little one-eyed, one-armed man who frustrated Napoleons ambitious maritime plans for the subjugation of England, who is to sailors what Napoleon is to soldiers, who represented in his person all that sea power meant when the very existence of our forefathers was threatened in the latter days of the eighteenth century and the first half-decade of its successor, must ever appeal to those for whom Great Britain means something more than a splash of red on a coloured map. I do not wish to suggest that his fame is insular. On the contrary, it is universal. Other lands and other peoples share in our admiration of him. We must not forget that it was an American naval officer, Admiral Mahan, who first gave us a really great book about this truly great man. In his Life of Nelson, we have the heros career reviewed by an expert whose knowledge of tactics has not blinded him to the more romantic aspects of Nelsons forty-seven years of life. Before its appearance readers were dependent upon the facts and fancies of the biography by Clarke and McArthur, the Memoirs of Pettigrew, or the stirring but often inaccurate pictures of Southey. The seven substantial tomes of Nelsons Letters and Despatches, edited with indefatigable industry by Sir Harris Nicolas, were not compiled for the general public, although they have furnished much material for later historians and must necessarily be the foundation of every modern book on Nelson. ......Buy Now (To Read More)
