Description

This text looks at the two years leading up to the Battle of Trafalgar - from 1803, when Napoleon gave orders for the creation of an army and flotilla to invade England - until the battle itself. The author gives a complete picture of this time - the influences, planning and the personalities that assembled and defeated the largest European army seen until World War I.
