The Hamilton Letters: The Naples Dispatches of Sir William Hamilton by John A. D
"The Hamilton Letters" is the first collection of his complete correspondence with the English court between 1797 and 1799. Included here is Sir William's own account of Nelson's betrayal of the Neapolitan Republic when, rather than granting the royalist leaders safe passage back to France as agreed, Nelson turned his guns on them - a hugely controversial decision, both for contemporary audiences and ever since, and one in which Sir William's own role is still hotly contested.
