Title: Nelson’s Navy by Brian Lavery. The Ships, Men and Organisation 1793 - 1815 
Summary: This book is regarded as one of the definitive single-volume studies of the British Royal Navy during the French Revolutionary and Napoleonic Wars. Rather than being a biography of Admiral Nelson, it explains how the Royal Navy functioned as an institution, examining the ships, officers, sailors, administration, logistics, and tactics that enabled Britain's command of the sea. Lavery argues that Britain's naval dominance resulted not from Nelson's genius alone but from a highly effective organization that had evolved over decades. Nelson's victories were made possible by a professional navy with experienced officers, skilled seamen, efficient dockyards, reliable supply systems, and disciplined crews.
