This superb account describes one of the most famous naval battles of all time, which shattered Napoleon's dreams of invading England. It is not just the story of the day in which Nelson and Collingwood smashed the combined fleets of France and Spain, but also that of a complex campaign of which Trafalgar was the climax, arguing that the protagonists were not Admirals Villeneuve and Nelson, but Napoleon and the British naval tradition.
