About this product
Product Information
Two hundred years ago, Napoleon Bonaparte dominated Europe and threatened Britain with invasion. Against him stood the Royal Navy and the already legendary Admiral Horatio Nelson. On 21 October 1805 a massive naval battle off the coast of Spain decided mastery of the seas. Then, over the following days and nights, the battleships and their exhausted crews endured a gale of awesome fury. As Captain Charles Tyler wrote to his wife Margaret, the wind blew a perfect storm . TRAFALGAR takes readers from the claustrophobic turmoil of a gun-deck in battle, to the desperation of men pumping water from sinking hulks adrift in hurricane force winds. Having fought in the most confused and bloody naval conflict that any had known, English, American, Irish, Spanish and French seamen then had to endure a terrifying combination of weather and circumstances the stuff of every mariner s nightmare. The authors of the bestselling FINEST HOUR tell this story not only through the diaries, letters and memoirs of the men who wrestled with the enemy and the elements, but also through the eyes of their wives and children - on board, watching in horror from the towers of Cadiz, or waiting anxiously at home. In this authoritative new history, dramatic personal accounts are supported by extensive original research from logs, muster books and personal files discovered in France, Spain and Britain. Intriguing characters abound: Geannette, wife of a Flemish main topman ; Louis Infernet, propelled to success by the French Revolution ; James Martin, a stalwart of the British lower deck; Dionisio Galiano , sailor, scientist and explorer of the New World, and many more. The demands of life at sea and what this extraordinary mix of people had suffered and achieved in the turbulent years that led up to TRAFALGAR make compelling reading.
