Nelson: Love and Fame

Legendary for his exploits in war and love, Admiral Horatio Nelson comes into clear view in this captivating new biography.

“This is a wonderful book, the best modern biography of Britain’s greatest admiral.”
—John Keegan, Daily Telegraph

“A great biography and a poignant love story.”—Benjamin Schwarz, Atlantic Monthly

“A masterly biography, cool and sharp in long shots, intimately persuasive in close focus, at all times difficult to put down and as timely as it is suggestive in its implications.”
—Hilary Spurling, New York Times Book Review

“A splendid biography, not only because it is well written and well researched, but also because it neither seeks to demean the hero nor excuse the man. Heroism becomes the more remarkable when it is shown by people who in other ways are very like ourselves.”
—L. G. Mitchell, Times Literary Supplement

“Vincent has written a masterful biography of a military man that examines the nuts and bolts of leadership in an entertaining and compelling way. . . . If you only read one biography of Nelson among the hundreds available, it should be this one.”—Paul Carbray, The Gazette (Montreal, Quebec)

• Named one of Atlantic Monthly’s Books of the Year
• A New York Times Notable Book of the Year

Since his retirement as a senior manager from ICI, Edgar Vincent has been researching and writing about Horatio Nelson.
