Allen places particular emphasis on Nelson's leadership, personal courage and devotion to duty, culminating in his death at the Battle of Trafalgar in 1805 and the extraordinary public commemoration that followed.\n               \u003cdiv\u003e\n                \u003cbr\u003e\n               \u003c\/div\u003e\n               \u003cdiv\u003e\n                The work reflects the strongly patriotic tone typical of Victorian biographies of Nelson, treating him not merely as a successful admiral but as a model of national character and service.
