Description
This volume argues that Britain's naval strength has always been bound up with her economic growth and decline. It offers a fresh approach to the study of British naval history and a challenge to traditional assumptions and historiography about the Navy.
Description
Examines the ebb and flow of Britain's maritime strength from the time of the Tudors, placing the fortunes of the Royal Navy firmly in the context of prevailing political and economic conditions, both national and international.
