The Pursuit of Victory: The Life and Achievement of Horatio Nelson
Roger Knight
"...probably the best single-volume Life that we are ever likely to see."
The starting point of Roger Knight's biography is to explain how Nelson achieved such extraordinary success. He analyses Nelson's more obvious qualities, but also demolishes many of the myths so carefully established by early authors.
