• Sommario/riassunto: Julian S. Corbett's 'The Campaign of Trafalgar' is a comprehensive study of the naval and military operations leading up to the Battle of Trafalgar in 1805. Corbett addresses the lack of a detailed historical account of this significant campaign, highlighting its combined naval and military nature, which has often been overshadowed by Admiral Nelson's involvement. The work draws from a wide range of primary sources, including French and Spanish documents, to offer a balanced view of the strategic decisions and diplomatic influences that shaped the campaign. It aims to provide a reasoned analysis of the campaign’s broader context, beyond Nelson’s contributions, and seeks to illuminate the roles of other key figures and the overarching military strategy. Intended for military historians and enthusiasts, the book combines narrative and critical evaluation to offer insights into early 19th-century naval warfare and diplomacy.
