Treasures of the British Museum Book

I've read several histories of the battle of Trafalgar Howarth's book was the most interesting and the clearest chronologically. In addition to filling out the background on Nelson and the necessity of the battle from both French/Spanish and British sides, the author described the historic significance of the battle. It includes diagrams of the locations of vessels in the two fleets as the fight progresses. All in all an excellent account and very well written. Highly recommended.
