Nelson: A Dream of Glory

"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)

Nelson: A Dream of Glory is the most comprehensive and thoroughly researched account ever written of Horatio Nelson's rise to international fame. Giving us the private as well as the public man, it combines ground-breaking scholarship with a brilliantly vivid and compelling style.
