About This Novel

This book is the representative work of British naval historian John Knox Lawton, who was highly praised by Alfred Thayer Mahan, the "father of sea power theory". This book systematically analyzes a large number of original materials, and comprehensively tells the history of Horatio Nelson, a key figure in the establishment of the British Empire's maritime hegemony, who led the Royal Navy to compete with the French Navy through his profound strategic wisdom and superb command art. It also provides a profound interpretation of the major battles in Horatio Nelson's life, especially the Battle of Valentine's Day, the Battle of the Nile, the Battle of Copenhagen and the Battle of Trafalgar.
