A Classic of British Naval History
Originally published in 1813, Southey’s The Life of Nelson became one of the most celebrated biographies of the legendary admiral.
The book follows Nelson’s extraordinary naval career, his leadership during the Napoleonic Wars and the great victories that established his reputation, culminating in the Battle of Trafalgar in 1805, where Nelson was fatally wounded.
