Trial by Inquiry: The Battle that split the Navy

BBC Radio 4
on BBC Radio 4 FM

by Arthur Swinson

'I had three hours with Beresford yesterday and all is settled. The Admiralty don't give in one inch to his demands but I had to agree, one, that Lord Charles Beresford is a greater man than Nelson; two, that no one knows anything about the art of naval warfare except Lord Charles Beresford ; and three, that the Admiralty haven't done a damned thing right.' - Admiral Sir John Fisher
