VOICES FROM THE BATTLE OF TRAFALGAR
by Peter Warwick

By 1803 Napoleon Bonaparte was master of continental Europe and readying his troops for the invasion of England. The decisive action at the Battle of Trafalgar on 21 October 1805, under the command of Vice Admiral Lord Viscount Nelson, established British naval superiority and effectively made a French invasion impossible. These are the experiences of those who were there, a vivid collection of contemporary eye witness accounts of the Battle of Trafalgar published for the bicentennial anniversary of the historic battle.
