For it is known Napoleon will show no mercy.But William Pitt the Younger, again the King's First Minister, though already a dying man, is determined the country shall cringe no longer before the ruthless Corsican. Henceforth, he will carry the fight to the enemy by the only means possible for a maritime nation - by sea.So begins the fascinating seven month campaign, masterminded by a man in his eightieth year, and ranging over half the world to its climax - the greatest and most decisive naval battle of all time...
