Book excerpt: Lord Nelson's brilliant naval strategy and unparalleled command gave Britain total supremacy at sea and made him a national hero. Much of his success, however, was also due to the Band of Brothers under his command; the most loyal and dedicated officers that the Royal Navy had ever seen. They included Troubridge, that dear good soul; Hardy, with whom Nelson was always in accord; Berry, his right hand; Fremantle, his staunch supporter; and Hood, gentle and unaffected. Despite their different backgrounds and outlooks, they were united in their devotion to Nelson.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Last of Nelson's Captains The last of Nelson's Captains was born in 1781, entered the Navy 1793, and died in 1866. As a midshipman, he shared in Lord Howe's actions which resulted in the victor of the "First of June." He saw much active service in the West Indies, both as a midshipman and as a lieutenant, especially during the war at San Domingo. As a commander, he also had much active service in the West Indies, particularly in chasing and in cutting out the enemy's privateers. As a captain, Earl St. Vincent, describing him as "My nephew of whom I am very proud," said he had merited the esteem and regard of every officer he had served under, from his first entrance into the Navy. Lord Nelson described him as always giving him pleasure. Sir John Borlase Warren said he was a real treasure in his squadron. Sir Pulteney Malcolm said he was the best frigate captain in the service. On attaining the higher ranks of the profession, his conduct and judgment elicited the approbation and admiration of every Administration which employed him; especially when on the Coast of Greece in 1828, and during the Civil War in Portugal, 1831 to 1834.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "They are my children; they serve in my school, and I glory in them" - Nelson (of his captains). Nelson's personality, his fame, his triumphs and weaknesses, are well known. Less well known are the lives of his fellow naval commanders who were his comrades and friends. Nelson and his Captains is a biography that steps back from one man to look at the people that supported him and leant him strength. These are the people Nelson owed his life to, and who in turn owed their lives to him. Among the eleven short biographies are: Sir Edward Pellew who famously defeated vicious Algerian pirates. Sir Thomas Hardy, who was Nelson's Flag Captain at the fateful Battle of Trafalgar. Sir James Saumarez whose relationship with Nelson was often tense. Captain Edward Riou who died serving with Nelson on an attack on the Danish fleet. Nelson and his Captains brings together a wide variety of sources, including excerpts from letters and captain's logs to create a clear and vibrant history from the Golden Age of Sail. Praise for Nelson and his Captains 'Thoughtfully and enthusiastically written in a simple yet pleasing, vivacious style' - The American Historical Review W.H. Fitchett (1841-1928) was a minister, educator and writer, who wrote a column for the Spectator magazine. He published works of fiction and non-fiction, including a four-volume collection How England Saved Europe in 1909.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Throughout the Revolutionary and Napoleonic Wars, the Royal Navy had a peculiar problem: it had too many talented and ambitious officers, all competing for a limited number of command positions. Given this surplus, we might expect that a major physical impairment would automatically disqualify an officer from consideration. To the contrary, after the loss of a limb, at least twenty-six such officers reached the rank of commander or higher through continued service. Losing a limb in battle often became a mark of honor, one that a hero and his friends could use to increase his chances of winning further employment at sea. Lame Captains and Left-Handed Admirals focuses on the lives and careers of four particularly distinguished officers who returned to sea and continued to fight and win battles after losing an arm or a leg: the famous admiral Lord Horatio Nelson, who fought all of his most historically significant battles after he lost his right arm and the sight in one eye, and his lesser-known fellow amputee admirals, Sir Michael Seymour, Sir Watkin Owen Pell, and Sir James Alexander Gordon. Their stories shed invaluable light on the historical effects of physical impairment and this underexamined aspect of maritime history. Peculiar Bodies: Stories and Histories

Book excerpt: Horatio Nelson's first captain was William Locker who recognised the exceptional talents of the young midshipman who was to become the most famous sailor in history. Thirty-seven years later Admiral Lord Nelson wrote to Locker 'I have been your scholar; it was you who taught me to board a Frenchman by your conduct It is you who always taught me to lay a Frenchman close and you will beat him. My only merit in my profession is being a good scholar'. Captain William Locker's career as a Sea Captain fighting the King's enemies on the high seas makes gripping reading and high drama.

Book excerpt: 'Fascinating . . . Shot through with fresh insights . . . No previous biography has attempted anything so comprehensive.' ObserverNelson is a thrilling new appraisal of Horatio Nelson, the greatest practitioner of naval command the world has ever seen. It explores the professional, personal, intellectual and practical origins of one man's genius, to understand how the greatest warrior that Britain has ever produced transformed the art of conflict, and enabled his country to survive the challenge of total war and international isolation. In Nelson, Andrew Lambert - described by David Cannadine as 'the outstanding British naval historian of his generation' - is able to offer new insights into the individual quality which led Byron rightly to celebrate Nelson's genius as 'Britannia's God of War'. He demonstrates how Admiral Nelson elevated the business of naval warfare to the level of the sublime. Nelson's unique gift was to take that which other commanders found complex, and reduce it to simplicity. Where his predecessors and opponents saw a particular battle as an end in itself, Nelson was always a step ahead - even in the midst of terrifying, close-quarters action, with officers and men struck down all around him. 'Excellent . . . Worthy of the stirring events [it celebrates].' Independent
