A Dream of Glory. 1758-1797. label insidewith prev owners name. This book combines groundbreaking scholarship with a vivid narrative style. Dealing with every facet of his crowded life, the author offers the only full account of Nelson's early voyages and the first complete analysis of the formative incidents in his career. Throughout, there are revealing, startling, and sometimes shocking discoveries about Nelson's relationships with family, patrons, officers and men, and women. Previous biographies have failed to penetrate the mythology encrusting one of history's greatest naval heroes, and none has been based on a thorough review of original sources. This book will immediately become the benchmark against which al subsequent books about Nelson will be judged. Enthralling from the first page to the last, the author's vast, richly detailed canvas gives new life to one of the greatest leaders of men in battle.
