“Refund was approved and back in my account the same day.” - Deliver+ customer
Paul Kennedys classic naval history, now updated with a new introduction by the authorThis acclaimed book traces Britains rise and fall as a sea power from the Tudors to the present day. Challenging the traditional view that the British are natural sons of the waves, he suggests instead that the countrys fortunes as a significant maritime force have always been bound up with its economic growth. In doing so, he contributes significantly to the centurieslong debate between continental and maritime schools of strategy over Britains policy in times of war. Setting British naval history within a framework of national, international, economic, political and strategic considerations, he offers a fresh approach to one of the central questions in British history. A new introduction extends his analysis into the twentyfirst century and reflects on current American and Chinese ambitions for naval mastery.Excellent and stimulating Correlli BarnettThe first scholar to have set the sweep of British Naval history against the background of economic history Michael Howard, Sunday TimesBy far the best study that has ever been done on the subject ... a sparkling and apt quotation on practically every page Daniel A. Baugh, International History ReviewThe best singlevolume study of Britain and her naval past now available to us Jon Sumida, Journal of Modern History
