Sobre IBD

Robert Southney (1774-1843) has written an extensive biography of Lord Nelson, one of England’s most famous navy heroes. Nelson was instrumental in the Napoleonic Wars especially the Battle of Trafalgar. Nelson was a great commander able to inspire and bring out the best in his men. After being wounded in the Battle of Trafalgar, his last words were 'Thank God I have done my duty.' This is a good reference work for anyone interested in British naval history.
