Editorial Reviews
Narrator Trevor Nichols jumps right into the action with relish as he begins this audio biography with a short introduction of the Battle of Trafalgar, the site of Lord Nelson's greatest triumph - as well as his doom. Nichols' vigorous rendition of Lord Nelson's life focuses on his many adventures as the tough military hero fought battles that sometimes led to grievous injury, including the loss of sight in one eye and the amputation of an arm. Nichols steadily brings the story to an exciting climax, culminating in the events of the Battle of Trafalgar and also manages to draw out the poignancy of Lord Nelson's final moments.
