Synopsis
Legendary for exploits in war and love, the perennially fascinating Horatio Nelson comes into clear view in this captivating new biography Nelson's naval glory, public fame, charismatic leadership, scandalous romance, and untimely death as he led the British to victory at the Battle of Trafalgar have ensured his enduring position as England's favorite hero. This engaging, full-length biography of Nelson (1758-1805) presents a gripping account of his career and climb to fame interwoven with the fascinating details of his personal and emotional life. A man of contradictions, Nelson emerges in this biography as a ruthless and aggressive leader; an ambitious attention-seeker capable of childish behavior; but a figure admired for his courage, kindness, and leadership skills. Edgar Vincent offers a number of new interpretations of aspects of Nelson's life, illuminates the motives and attitudes of key figures who surrounded him, and provides an account of his early infatuations, his courtship of his wife Fanny, and his passion for his celebrated mistress Lady Hamilton. Captured on these pages in all his vigor and complexity, Nelson is as charismatic a figure today as he was two hundred years ago., Legendary for his exploits in war and love, Admiral Horatio Nelson comes into clear view in this captivating new biography. "This is a wonderful book, the best modern biography of Britain's greatest admiral."--John Keegan, "Daily Telegraph ""A great biography and a poignant love story."--Benjamin Schwarz, "Atlantic Monthly ""A masterly biography, cool and sharp in long shots, intimately persuasive in close focus, at all times difficult to put down and as timely as it is suggestive in its implications."--Hilary Spurling, "New York Times Book Review" "A splendid biography, not only because it is well written and well researched, but also because it neither seeks to demean the hero nor excuse the man. Heroism becomes the more remarkable when it is shown by people who in other ways are very like ourselves."--L. G. Mitchell, "Times Literary Supplement ""Vincent has written a masterful biography of a military man that examines the nuts and bolts of leadership in an entertaining and compelling way. . . . If you only read one biography of Nelson among the hundreds available, it should be this one."--Paul Carbray, "The Gazette" (Montreal, Quebec), Legendary for his exploits in war and in love, Admiral Horatio Nelson (1758-1805) comes into clear view in this captivating new biography. "The best modern biography of Britain's greatest admiral"--John Keegan, "Daily Telegraph." 76 illustrations, 58 in color.
