| Summary/Abstract |
Each year as we sit down to our beef, and toast the immortal memory, we celebrate the life and death of the admiral who epitomizes leadership and command at sea, Nelson is the ultimate expression of tactical and strategic skill in naval warfare. However, the truth of Trafalgar is for more complex. No mater what the brilliance of Britannia's God of War, the battle was won a full half century earlier by a man whom the modern royal navy has largely forgotten, but whose achievements laid the foundation for a century of global dominance and the establishment of an empire the like of which has never been seen since.
