To have any hope of understanding the man himself and his enduring celebrity status, it is essential to read two or three of the many biographies. Lambert's book, which is up-to-date, easy to read and short (well, compared to many of the others), is a good place to start.
This is the book for those who want more about the hero. It covers his early life and career, from his birth in 1758 to the disastrous, failed attack on Tenerife in 1797, in which he lost his right arm. These years are presented in great detail in the 788 pages; publication of the second volume was expected this spring, and its delay is a huge disa...
Given the volume of research and published works about Nelson, it is surprising that there are still letters being discovered that were written to and from him. Perhaps even more surprising is the fact that such material has not been studied comprehensively since the mid-19th century, when seven volumes of dispatches and letters were edited and pub...
It is difficult to understand Nelson without some idea of the navy to which he belonged. Lavery's book provides all the information, facts and figures that you could possibly want, from the ships, weapons and equipment to how the sailors lived and fought. It is very well illustrated throughout with black and white photographs and diagrams.
This catalogue to the exhibition at the National Maritime Museum, for the bicentenary of the Battle of Trafalgar, provides the colour illustrations that Lavery's and Goodwin's books lack. And it really comes alive as a result. Also, by contrasting Nelson and Napoleon, the respective heroes of the British and French, it gives many authoritative insi...
Apart from his wounds, which are well if imperfectly known (he never wore an eyepatch over his sightless eye), Nelson suffered a range of illnesses. How a man should achieve such success and fame when he was hardly ever in perfect health is examined in this fascinating book.
Of all the places in Britain that are associated with Nelson, Portsmouth is probably the most evocative. Now home to his flagship, HMS Victory, the city has many other buildings and landmarks associated with him. This book tells the story of the Portsmouth that Nelson knew.
Another book that does exactly what it claims - to present the varied monuments, landmarks and memorabilia that are associated with Nelson or were made to commemorate him. They are all here, from the ubiquitous Lord Nelson pub signs, to the admiral's final resting place in St Paul's Cathedral. This and Smith's are great guidebooks to those holidays...
