Reception
In the ''Journal of the Society of Nautical Research'', Colin White, a leading expert on Nelson, called the book a "fascinating work of strategic philosophy. ... The result is surprisingly persuasive." ts analyses"are thought-provoking and, in places, offer fresh ways of understanding what happened." Similarly, in the ''International Journal of Maritime History'', Paul Webb wrote: "This effort by Hayward merits serious attention. ... tprovides many fresh insights into the workings of Nelson's mind. ... here is no question Hayward has done his work and supports it by solid research. He poses important questions and proffers plausible answers. He clearly admires Nelson, but is quick to recognise his faults and his contradictory character traits. Any serious Nelson student will benefit from this book." ''For God and Glory'' was rated as "outstanding" by members of the 2004 University Press Books Committee, a rating defined "as having exceptional editorial content and subject matter" and considered "essential to most library collections".Arabic translation
