ENEMY AT TRAFALGAR: Eye-Witness’ Narratives, dispatches and Letters from the french and Spanish Fleets :: Naval & Mercantile History :: Other Categories

The dramatic accounts of the battle of Trafalgar, recounted in these pages, tell the story from the perspective of the defeated French and Spanish sailors.In the century since the work was first published much has been written about the greatest sea battle of the age of sail, but little of it in English is from the perspective of the defeated.Edward Fraser, an experienced writer on naval subjects, compiled and translated a collection of official dispatches taken from naval archives, as well as personal accounts by the participants, and he wove this first-hand material into a vivid and highly readable narrative that tells the story from the time of Napoleon’s strategic decisions for the Combined Fleet, through the period during which it was blockaded at Cadiz, to the devastating battle itself, the storm which followed, and the terrible aftermath for victors and vanquished alike.
