Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Nelsons of Burnham Thorpe: A Record of a Norfolk Family Compiled From Unpublished Letters and Notebooks, 1787 1842 Certain winter evenings spent in turning over bundles of old papers; certain talks with old people about still older generations, with whom they had once touched hands and hearts. Thus the call comes to build up again the picture of past days. Grouped round a private memoir of the Reverend Edmund Nelson and his youngest daughter, this record has been compiled almost exclusively from the manuscripts of one branch only among his descendants. It is therefore from his and their point of view that the rest of the family are seen and their actions commented upon. Its publication is due to the suggestion that, in so far as it relates to the distinguished member among them, it supplies a slight link between those works dealing with the public career of Admiral Lord Nelson, and the many sensational memoirs which have focussed so much attention upon one phase only in the last years of his life, somewhat to the exclusion of the less obtrusive family circle and affections, which influenced his character from the first and absorbed so much of his interest to the end.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Admiral Horatio Nelson captures our imaginations like few other military figures. A mixture of tactical originality, raw courage, cruelty, and romantic passion, Nelson in action was daring and direct, a paramount naval genius and a natural born predator. Now, in The Nelson Touch, novelist Terry Coleman provides a superb portrait of Britain's most revered naval figure. Here is a vivid account of Nelson's life, from his childhood and early career at sea--where a high-placed uncle helped speed his advancement to post captain--to gripping accounts of his greatest sea battles. Readers will witness the Battle of the Nile, where Nelson crushed a French squadron of thirteen ships of the line, and the Battle of Trafalgar, where he died at the moment of his greatest triumph. What emerges is a man of strength of mind amounting to genius, frequently generous, always fascinated with women, often uneasy with his superior officers, and absolutely fearless. Nelson was a ruthless commander, whose instinct was not just to defeat the enemy but to annihilate him. Sure to appeal to readers of Patrick O'Brian and other seafaring fiction, as well as all military history and naval history buffs, this is a superbly written biography that gives readers the texture and feel of this magnificent life.

Book excerpt: 'Fascinating . . . Shot through with fresh insights . . . No previous biography has attempted anything so comprehensive.' ObserverNelson is a thrilling new appraisal of Horatio Nelson, the greatest practitioner of naval command the world has ever seen. It explores the professional, personal, intellectual and practical origins of one man's genius, to understand how the greatest warrior that Britain has ever produced transformed the art of conflict, and enabled his country to survive the challenge of total war and international isolation. In Nelson, Andrew Lambert - described by David Cannadine as 'the outstanding British naval historian of his generation' - is able to offer new insights into the individual quality which led Byron rightly to celebrate Nelson's genius as 'Britannia's God of War'. He demonstrates how Admiral Nelson elevated the business of naval warfare to the level of the sublime. Nelson's unique gift was to take that which other commanders found complex, and reduce it to simplicity. Where his predecessors and opponents saw a particular battle as an end in itself, Nelson was always a step ahead - even in the midst of terrifying, close-quarters action, with officers and men struck down all around him. 'Excellent . . . Worthy of the stirring events [it celebrates].' Independent
