Winner of the Longman's History Today Book of the Year Award and the inaugural Westminster Medal for Military Literature
More than a century had gone by since the Battle of Trafalgar.

Andrew Gordon teaches at the Joint Services Command and Staff College, Shrivenham. He has been a recipient of the Westminster Medal for Military Literature, and the Longman-History Today Book of the Year prize.
