Nelson: A Dream of Glory Reviews

A masterpiece... The flagship of the fleet, it leaves all others trailing in its wake -- Neil Hanson * Sunday Times *
A magnificently-researched and thoughtful work which locates Nelson in a global context -- Linda Colley
This work is massively authoritative -- Max Hastings * Sunday Telegraph *
One can say with confidence that this momumental tome is the finest yet written on England's great naval hero. Sugden's brilliant book is chock-full of fascinating details. And if the second volume turns out as well as this, his life of Nelson will be one of the historical masterpieces of our time -- Frank McLynn * Daily Express *
A massive, first-rate battleship of a book -- Colin White * Observer *
