Referencias a esta obra en fuentes externas. Wikipedia en inglés (35)Admiral Nelson's immortal fame has long overshadowed the memory of those who served with him, and most of those officers are now unknown. This bicentennial tribute rescues the men from obscurity and celebrates their achievements. Colin White, the director of the organizing committee for "Trafalgar 200" and a member of the 1805 Club, presents a biographical survey of all the admirals, captains, and commanding officers who served with Nelson at the Battle of Trafalgar, together with details of the graves and monuments erected to their memory. Written for a wide readership inspired by the 2005 celebrations, the book opens with a chapter on the concept of the Band of Brothers and looks at how many of the Trafalgar captains had previously served with Nelson. It then gives brief biographies of each of the thirty-eight officers. Of particular interest are the descriptions of the graves and monuments, including transcriptions of the epitaphs based on a survey by members of the 1805 Club. Accompanying the descriptions are photographs and directions to the various sites, giving readers the opportunity to easily visit them. No se han encontrado descripciones de biblioteca. |
