What They're Saying
Critics Review
”‘It addresses Nelson’s career with energy and good sense.’ Max Hastings, Sunday Telegraph ‘Good on the influence of sea power on history, and also examines in some detail the two controversial episodes of Nelson’s life: his treatment of his wife, Fanny, after leaving her for Emma Hamilton, and his alleged betrayal of the armistice given to the defeated Jacobin rebels at Naples, followed by the execution of the Neapolitan officer Francesco Caracciolo.’ Evening Standard ‘No previous biography has attempted anything so comprehensive… fascinating’ Observer”
