MEN OF HONOUR: TRAFALGAR AND THE MAKING OF THE ENGLISH HERO
by Adam Nicolson

A look at the contradictions of heroism, as embodied by Horatio Nelson and as tested by the battle of Trafalgar. the author looks at the variety of qualities – ruthlessness, bravery, kindness, cruelty – that combined in both Nelson and his troops to carry that fateful day. he also traces the stories of many unknown people of the day. He tackles the move from the age of reason to the age of romanticism, and examines a battle that was not only a uniquely well-documented crisis in human affairs but also a lens on its own time.
