Nelson’s Way

Against the backdrop of the high seas in the Napoleonic wars, Jones and Gosling explain how Nelson dedicated himself completely to his profession and beloved navy. A manager as well as an inspiring leader, he was concerned about every ship and every seaman, as well as honour and glory. Always visible, he led from the front. A participative rather than directive leader, sharing the excitement and initiative of command, he nevertheless bore final responsibility. Prepared to die for the cause, he was a legend in his lifetime.PB 234 pages
