An explosive chronicle of history's greatest sea battle, from the coauthor of Gibraltar: The Greatest Siege in British History

In the tradition of Antony Beevor's Stalingrad, Nelson's Trafalgar presents the definitive blow-by-blow account of the world's most famous naval battle, when the British Royal Navy, under Lord Horatio Nelson, dealt a decisive blow to the forces of Napoleon. The Battle of Trafalgar comes boldly to life in this definitive work that recreates those five momentous, earsplitting hours with unrivaled detail and intensity.

Blurs the line between history and story hour. I couldn't put it down. Coverage both broad and narrow and well performed by the reader. What a chestnut!

Splendid and worthwhile

Adkins in his book Nelson’s Trafalgar pulls back the curtain on the story of the battle. The events prior to, during and post battle. The import of Nelson’s death. How this one battle shaped the history of Europe and the fate of Napoleon. Adds real true life memoirs that make OBriens Aubrey and Maturain series that much more wonderful.

Incredible. Adkins appears to have pulled from every single eyewitness account of the a have mentioned and uses them to put you squarely in the lower decks of the battleships.

Full throated, visceral history.

The inclusion of the accounts and documented feelings of the people who were there really helped punctuate the facts of the events of Trafalgar and the subsequent storm.
