Nelson throughout his life suffered far more than his fair share of ill health, nevertheless his genetic inheritance suggests that had he not been killed at Trafalgar, he would have lived to a great age. This is a study of Nelson's health, character and genius, based on research where he is examined from a medical point of view.
