TRAFALGAR: THE UNTOLD STORY OF THE GREATEST SEA BATTLE IN HISTORY
by Nicholas Best

Beginning with a vivid recreation of Napoleon's army assembling at Boulogne for the invasion of England, Nicholas Best tells how the French fleet joined with their Spanish allies and set out for a decisive battle with the Royal Navy. Following events through the eyes of eyewitnesses on the gundeck as well as the admiral's cabins, he takes us to the Mediterranean and the West Indies and back to the coast of Spain as the rival fleets manoeuvre for advantage. Then follows his gripping minute-by-minute account of the actual battle.

by Stanley Bonnett

Subtitled "An indictment of the Royal Navy 1805-1966", this is an account of the cost of the Royal Navy in terms of men, their achievements, their health and their dignity. The author examines the appalling incompetence, stupidity and sadism from the period immediately after Trafalgar to the absorption of the Admiralty into the Ministry of Defence in 1966. The author seeks to demonstrate that glory has its price.
