A riveting and comprehensive account of the earlier part of Nelson's life
A highly readable account of the early part of Nelson's life. At nearly 800 pages of biography Sugden explores all aspects of his upbringing and his development into one of the greatest naval heroes this country has ever produced. However, this is not a hagiography as the writer explores the weaknesses of Nelson's character but I couldn't help warming to Nelson as I continued reading especially with Nelson's respect and support for the ordinary sailor.Anyone fascinated with late 18th century life in the English Counties and on board ships should enjoy this book.Read full review...
