Nelson: a Personal History by Christopher Hibbert, Elizabeth Bland

3.0

A concise, engaging biography. As presented by Hibbert, Nelson seemed to be a man of bravery and action who enjoyed adventure, battle, and social life (esp. the company of certain women but was usually discreet). He was somewhat vain, always making his exploits known to his acquaintances, and he seemed to leave questions of politics and the bigger picture to the politicians and the justice system while focusing on the more naval/military objectives given him, though he did consider going into politics a couple of times.
