I have been a Nelson fan for quite a while. A lot of this has rubbed off on my 8 year old son. The books I have read are too old for him to read. This dvd brought to life how the battle of Trafalgar was fought and won for him. The factual re-enactment was very vivid. We visited HMS Victory last year, and it was good for my son to see what conditions were like on board in relation to the battle. I liked how the written views of the crew member was relayed by an actor. The battle scenes were very realistic. A must see for anyone interested in Naval (and indeed English) history.
It was very good value for money, it gives a good account of the battle, introduces some of the main characters, the tactics are explained well and it points out what Nelson wanted to achieve and how he did it. This battle lasted only three hours and any student seeking a serious introduction to that event would be well pleased with this account.
Good
