A Norfolk clergyman’s son goes to sea at twelve and rises to become the most famous admiral in British history. Chapter by chapter, Harold Wheeler follows Nelson through the West Indies, the Nile, Copenhagen and the long chase that ended at Trafalgar, quoting freely from letters and the memories of men who served under him.
A lively, well-sourced naval biography pitched at boys, and just as readable for adults who want Nelson without the heavy scholarship. Download the free EPUB.
