John Kuehn of the Military History Department at the Command and General Staff College at Fort Leavenworth discusses Admiral Horatio Nelson, the British naval commander best known for his role in the Napoleonic wars.

Nelson was killed in the Battle of Trafalgar, during which he commanded a force that destroyed the French and Spanish fleets. The victory solidified the supremacy of British sea power.

The event is the fourth in the Great Commanders series.
