About this book

Nelson's Battles: The Art of Victory in the Age of Sail by Tracy, Nicholas. hardcover edition. ISBN: 9781557506214.

Tracy (history, U. of New Brunswick) is a specialist in naval warfare especially during the age of sail. He presents an account of British Vice Admiral Horatio Nelsons (1758-1805) military career that should please Nelson fans and readers new to or old in the naval warfare. He reviews Nelsons early career and the British navys position and strategy; describes the contemporary guns, ships, and battle tactics; then offers blow-by-blows of the Cape St. Vincent and the Nile, Copenhagen, and Trafalgar campaigns. Highly illustrated with contemporary black-and-white drawings. Annotation c. by Book News, Inc., Portland, Or.
