Ernle Bradford discusses Nelson's own battles, but also looks at naval warfare of the
period in general. The author describes the strategies, the tactics, the ponderous ship-to-ship
bombardments, the terrifying injuries, as well as Nelson's policy of annihilation of the
opposing fleet, making the point that Nelson regarded the escape of a single enemy ship as a failure.

| Description : |
It was at the Battle of Cape St Vincent on 14 February 1797, when the Royal Navy
won a great victory over the Spanish, that Nelson first came to public fame. Five months later
in the attack on Santa Cruz on 22-25 July he suffered a bloody defeat at the hands of the
Spanish and lost an arm. These two events, one a success the other a humiliating failure,
played a key role in shaping Nelson's character and style as a leader. Taken together they mark
a significant turning point in his life.
White draws together recent research and new discoveries to make a narrative that places the
two battles in their strategic and political contexts. Includes contemporary accounts of both
battles with specially drawn plans incorporating this information.

| Description : |
August 1, 1798: Thirteen French ships sit anchored in Aboukir Bay off the coast of Alexandria, Egypt, in support of
Napoleon, now ashore with the bulk of his troops. Nighttime approaches--and so do the British.
Admiral Lord Horatio Nelson has for months been hunting Napoleon at sea; now, upon his command, the English fleet opens
fire on the surprised and trapped enemy. By battle's end, nearly all of the French ships are sunk or captured, and the
120-gun flagship Orient--the pride of the French navy--has exploded. With 1,700 of his men dead, Bonaparte's ability to
dominate the region is crushed. Nelson becomes a hero throughout all of Britain.
Discovery Books presents Napoleon's Lost Fleet: Bonaparte, Nelson, and the Battle of the Nile, a spirited chronicle of Lord
Nelson's pursuit of Napoleon as the French general set out to capture Egypt. Gifted storytellers Laura Foreman and Ellen
Blue Phillips bring this great age of naval warfare to life as they recount the greed, audacity, bravery, and bloodshed
that made up this, the Battle of the Nile.
With equal parts bold narrative and historical accuracy, the authors show Bonaparte and Nelson as complex and brilliant
militarists destined to lead their countries to glory. That Nelson prevailed in Egypt was testament to his impudence,
his highly maneuverable ships--and considerable good fortune. Despite an ill-equipped, undermanned, and financially
strapped navy, Napoleon had assembled a formidable armada of 13 battleships, 300 transport vessels, and 38,000 men. His
plan to conquer Egypt--which started off with a treasure-raiding stop at Malta along the way--might well have succeeded
if the pursuing Nelson had not followed a hunch about Bonaparte's destination.
Following this riveting account of the chase, the battle, and the aftermath, the book takes readers far beneath Aboukir Bay
with French underwater explorer Franck Goddio and his team as they dive at the site of the Orient and two other sunken
French ships, the Serieuse and the Artemise. There they uncover and salvage exotic coins, artillery, personal artifacts,
and other finds that speak eloquently of life at sea and at war in the late eighteenth century.
Lavishly illustrated with more than 200 extraordinary full-color photographs, expedition images, portraits, scenic
paintings, and battle maps, Napoleon's Lost Fleet joins military history with cutting-edge marine archaeology to
captivate all lovers of discovery.
