Schom (Emile Zola; a biography) devotes half his book to the plans, hopes, fears of the combatants. He correctly claims that many of the classic accounts take up the battle no earlier than Jan. 1805. His other major departure is to honor the chief architect of this pivotal victory, Admiral Cornwallis. A useful addition to the Trafalgar accounts. Annotation copyright Book News, Inc. Portland, Or.
