“Horatio Nelson”
Tom Pocock presents a complete and completely believable Nelson… It is unlikely that another could have handled Nelson with the confidence and fluency, the combination of detachment and intimacy, which make this book so attractive and distinguished. The Times Literary Suplement.

“The Trafalgar Roll”
A detailed look at the ships and over 850 of the stories of the officers and men who fought under Nelson’s command. From the names and descriptions of these men we come to realise how ordinary sailors became extraordinary heroes, and the story of Nelson’s victory takes on a new, richer meaning.
