Nelson and his World (1974) By Tom Pocock
 
Thomas Allcot Guy Pocock, writing under the name Tom Pocock, (18 August 1925, London - 7 May 2007, London) was an English biographer, war correspondent, journalist and naval historian. He joined the Royal Navy in 1943, being present at D-Day and then serving as naval "minder" to war correspondents covering the Battle of Normandy. He became a war correspondent at only 19 years old. He spent four years with the Hulton Press current affairs magazine group, being one of the first journalists to see Bergen-Belsen concentration camp. He then moved on to be a feature-writer and then Naval Correspondent on the Daily Mail, and then (in 1952) Naval Correspondent of The Times.
 
This was his first book. He was a foreign correspondent and special writer for the Daily Express from 1956 to 1959, then from 1959 was feature writer, Defence Correspondent, war correspondent and finally Travel Editor on the Evening Standard. He married Penny Casson in 1969 (they had two daughters). He won the Mountbatten Maritime Prize in 2004.
 
The author, Tom Pocock, comes from a naval family, has had lifelong connections with the Royal Navy, and was for many years naval correspondent of The Times (London). He describes Nelson's family and the social environment in which Nelson grew up, offering fresh explanations for his independent outlook and occasional insubordination, his vanity, and his infatuation (which endured till death) with Emma Hamilton.
