Download The Life of Horatio Lord Nelson AudioBook Free
Having inserted the English Navy at the age of 12, Horatio Lord Nelson achieved the list of captain at the age of 20. As captain, he was quickly recognized as a magnetic and controversial physique. He triumphed at Cape St. Vincent and the Nile, but failed at Tenefife and Boulogne. With the glories of Copenhagen and Trafalgar yet before him, his ardent interest for Emma Hamilton, the wife of a English Ambassador, cast a heavy shadow over his job. Audacious in battle (he once dismissed a superior's order to stop action at Copenhagen by adding his telescope to his blind vision and declaring he cannot see the sign) and success of a few of Britain's biggest victories, Nelson possessed an extraordinary amount dash and courage, thus making him one of history's great romantic figures.
