Nelson Encyclopedia Hardcover – August 1, 2002 by Colin White
 
Even after two centuries, interest in Nelson shows no signs of abating. New research continues to reveal previously unsuspected aspects of his life and career, even in the face of the old persistent myths. The Nelson Encyclopedia covers the people, ships, places, and events associated with the admiral, and extends to contemporary issues such as changing interpretations of his actions and motivation. This outstanding reference book sets out to answer any question about Lord Nelson likely to be raised, either by casual reference or in a more detailed study of the navy, the wars, or the social history of the period. This is the ultimate source book on the life and times of Britain’s greatest naval hero.
