The Battle of Copenhagen 1801
Written by the leading Danish authority on the period, this splendid work brings to life Nelson's historic victory immortalised by his so famously turning a blind eye to his superior's order to halt operations. As well as describing the brilliance of the British tactics, the work fascinatingly reveals the desperate action and great bravery displayed by the Danish defenders who suffered appallingly in the fighting.
Of all the many actions he fought, Horatio Nelson, England's greatest naval hero, claimed that the battle of Copenhagen was 'the hotest'. Yet, while others such as the Nile and the fateful Trafalgar have been minutely analysed, historians have waited patiently for a truly comprehensive account of this engagement between the British Fleet and the determined Danish defenders.
