TRAFALGAR: the Men, the Battle, the Storm Drawing on much previously unpublished material - in particular the letters and diaries of "ordinary" participants (from both sides) - this is an exciting, and often moving, narrative. It exposes many of the hoary old Trafalgar myths, and also gives generous space to the "perfect storm" that followed the battle and led to even greater loss of life than the fighting itself. Hardback, 445 pages plus colour plate sections. Comprehensively researched, vividly written and judiciously argued." DAILY TELEGRAPH.
