Nelson and Napoleon: The Long Haul to Trafalgar Book

Finished this 20mins ago. I love reading about naval battles, and found a lot of this book highly interesting. However, its editor has made some surprising decisions. Every person mentioned gets a footnote with their dates and something about them - even if it's already said in the footnoted text! This really distracts from the narrative and makes it an uncomfortable read. Lee also writes passive aggressively throughout, especially (but not only) about Villeneuve, which undermine the book's trustworthiness as an unbiased account. However, I did appreciate that he points out flaws in Nelson and most other key players.
The title is also questionable, as the drama more concerns partly Nelson and Villeneuve, and partly the awkward mechanics between the French admiral and emperor. I'd have liked more on relationships between Royal Navy leaders of the campaign, but that could fill another book, and what Lee gives us is still interesting.
