Paul Johnson
An Eye For Leadership
THIS WEIGHTY VOLUME is a formidable addition to the alreadv crowded Nelson canon. As well as Southev’s biogriphy, which held the popular field for nearl; a century, there are splendid works by the great Alfred Mahan and I Sir Julian Corbett, by Carola Oman and Sir Arthur Bryant, and, more recently by Tom Pocock and Dudley Pope, to which should be added, for an understanding of Nelson’s professional career, N A M Rodger’s study of the Georgian navy, The Wooden World.
