Trafalgar in History: A Battle and Its Afterlife

by David Cannadine (Editor)

After the bicentenary of Trafalgar and the death of Nelson, this volume acts both as a summary and a collection of some of the best scholarship on the battle, its context and legacy. It moves away from Nelson and brings new research from a range of disciplinary perspectives to bear on one of the most significant naval actions in the age of sail.
