Tirelessly researched and never authoratative about shaky "facts," Sugden performed marvelously with the finest Nelson biography produced. Keeping a 900-page biography interesting is not small feat, especially when you consider that the book only covers up to Nelson's first major recognition. The interesting stories, first hand accounts, and minute details, paint a rich picture of a great man. Zeige 2 von 2 keine Rezensionen | Rezension hinzufügen

The author describes the first forty or so years of Nelson's life very skillfully and interestingly and in great detail. Lots of little nuggets in each chapter. If you have the time and patience to invest in this enormous tome it is well worth your time.
It may be a while until i can muster enough enthusiasm to tackle Vol 2 though! ( )
