D. A. B. Ronald

Dr D. A. B. Ronald has published several books, Young Nelsons: Boy Soldiers during the Napoleonic Wars (2009), and Youth, Heroism and War Propaganda: Britain and the Young Maritime Hero 1754–1820 (2015).

His acknowledged academic expertise in the realm of the ‘young hero’ makes him uniquely qualified to write this long overdue new biography.
