Reviews for Trafalgar
First-rate... quite fascinating and filled with glimpses of the humanity of the men who fought so coolly yet ferociously. His account of the battle is a gripping album of snapshots from the quarterdecks and gundecks of the ships themselves. Truly it is a most eclectic, engaging book
