Brilliant Brits: Nelson

Richard Brassey

The story of the great naval hero, who said that 'England expects that every man will do his duty'.

*

Reviews

  

Despite being seasick, Nelson became England's greatest naval commander.

He lost an arm and the sight in one eye, and his coat was covered in medals for his victories. When he died, his body was pickled in a barrel of brandy and he was hero-worshipped by a grateful nation.

His life story, brilliantly told in words and pictures, comes out in time for the bicentenary of the Battle of Trafalgar.

 


'art, design and text combine effortlessly to provide an accessible and memorable introduction to these important people from history.'

Nicola Morgan
