Originally published in 1910, this is the classic account of Nelson's victory at the Battle of Trafalgar. Written by one of England's leading naval strategy experts, it is a comprehensive account of both the battle itself and its political context.
Julian Corbett (1854-1921) was appointed principal lecturer on history and strategy at the Naval War College at Greenwich in 1902. The Campaign of Trafalgar (1910) was considered his most significant work up to that point. In 1914, he was awarded the Chesney Gold Medal by the Royal United Services Institute. He was a strategic advisor to the Admiralty during the First World War, for which efforts he was knighted in 1917. His works remain an important feature of maritime study.
