Summary / Abstract (Note) | The British historian and maritime strategist, Julian Stafford Corbett, published The Campaign of Trafalgar in 1910. The book presents a complex account of the political, diplomatic and military campaign that resulted in defeat for the combined French-Spanish fleet and the death of Nelson. Corbett made a compelling, and at the time quite controversial, argument that Nelson's real genius was not the tactical mastery that was displayed on 21 October 1805 but his understanding of the strategic context of his command and why this was the key lesson for his contemporary professional audience. |
