Two hundred years ago Napoleon Bonaparte threatened Britain with invasion. Against him stood the Royal Navy and the already legendary Admiral Horatio Nelson. On 21st October 1805, a massive naval battle off the coast of Spain decided mastery of the seas. Then over the following days and nights, the battleships and their exhausted crews endured a gale of awesome fury. As Captain Charles Tyler wrote to his wife Margaret, 'the wind blew a perfect storm'. The authors tell this story through the diaries, letters and memoirs of the men who wrestled with the enemy and the elements, and through the eyes of their wives and children
