The book by British author Gregory Fremont-Barnes "Trafalgar 1805. For Nelson and the King!" dedicated to one of the most famous and great naval battles in world history. Off Cape Trafalgar on October 21, 1805, 27 British and 33 Franco-Spanish ships fought a fierce battle for four hours, which resulted in a decisive victory for the British Royal Navy under the command of Vice-Admiral Lord Nelson over the allied fleets of France and Spain. As a result, England was forever freed from the threat of Napoleon's invasion. Nelson's brilliant tactics, his talent for inspiring heroism, together with the superior training and morale of the British sailors, completely crushed the enemy. This fierce battle was the last major naval battle of the era of the sailing fleet and marked the beginning of a century of British dominance at sea. In the book, the reader will find detailed and vivid descriptions of combat episodes, equipped with diagrams and numerous illustrations, as well as detailed information about the composition, tactics, weapons of the opposing fleets and biographical information about their commanders.
