| Abstract |
"Lame Captains and Left-Handed Admirals: Amputee Officers in Nelson's Navy focuses on the lives and careers of three amputee officers: Admiral Sir Michael Seymour, Admiral Sir Watkin Owen Pell, and Admiral Sir James Alexander Gordon. Bringing together military disability and the social history of the Royal Navy, this book examines how active-duty amputee officers attended to the difference between ideals of masculinity and military heroism, and the realities of military service"-- Provided by publisher. |
