Description

8vo., First Edition, with portrait frontispiece, plates and charts coloured in outline; blue cloth, gilt back, a very good, bright copy. 'catches most understandingly the professional side…Admiral James is the only Nelson biographer who himself held high executive command in war, and so can view, as it were, Nelson's command-problems through his own eyes (Prof. Michael Lewis). As Commander-in-Chief, Portsmouth, the author lived for more than year in Nelson's cabin on the VICTORY, after his official residence had been bombed. NMM II/1, 999.
