"A masterpiece... The flagship of the fleet, it leaves all others trailing in its wake" -- Neil Hanson Sunday Times "A magnificently-researched and thoughtful work which locates Nelson in a global context" -- Linda Colley "This work is massively authoritative" -- Max Hastings Sunday Telegraph "One can say with confidence that this momumental tome is the finest yet written on England's great naval hero. Sugden's brilliant book is chock-full of fascinating details. And if the second volume turns out as well as this, his life of Nelson will be one of the historical masterpieces of our time" -- Frank McLynn Daily Express "A massive, first-rate battleship of a book" -- Colin White Observer
