ISBN: 9780750937139.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eHoratio Nelson was one of the most successful leaders Britain has ever produced. A legend in his own lifetime, he has inspired many hundreds of books. But few of these have concentrated on him as a naval commander - indeed the last major such study was published over thirty years ago.\nSince then much new material has emerged, both as a result of the Nelson Letters Project and in a series of international conferences on Nelsons battles involving French, Spanish and Danish historians. In particular, the discovery of Nelsons personal order books and battle plans have transformed our understanding of his command methods.\nColin White has been at the forefront of all these developments and has made many of the most exciting new discoveries himself. He is therefore ideally placed to offer a fresh analysis of Nelsons tactics and leadership style.\nWhite presents new narratives of all three of Nelsons great battles, the Nile (1798), Copenhagen (1801) and Trafalgar (1805). He shows how the British triumph at Trafalgar was the culmination of years of thought and experimentation on Nelsons part, and by his contemporaries and predecessors. He also uses the new material to demonstrate Nelsons remarkable administrative skills, and his abilities as a diplomat and intelligence officer - aspects of his leadership that have not been fully highlighted before.\nThe result is a different portrait of Nelson as an admiral - more rounded and more insightful than any yet achieved.\nOfficially endorsed by the Royal Navy and the Royal Naval Museum, the book is illustrated in colour and black and white with over seventy images drawn from the collections of the Royal Naval Museum and National Maritime Museum, and with specially drawn diagrams illustrating Nelsons battles and campaigns.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"The History Press","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44976914399285,"sku":"ByrdShop_0750937130","price":91.1,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0627\/8139\/0901\/files\/9780750937139_4c8a2098-8faf-4c08-83bf-49dffad28878.jpg?v=1778888518","url":"https:\/\/atxbooks.com\/products\/nelson-the-admiral-9780750937139","provider":"ATX Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
