Verwijzingen naar dit werk in externe bronnen. Wikipedia in het Engels (31)Throughout Britain's history, one factor above all others has determined the fate of the nation- its navy. N. A. M. Rodger's definitive account reveals how the political and social progress of Britain has been inextricably intertwined with the strength - and weakness - of its sea power, from the desperate early campaigns against the Vikings to the defeat of the great Spanish Armada. Covering policy, strategy, ships, recruitment and weapons, this is a superb tapestry of nearly 1,000 years of maritime history. Geen bibliotheekbeschrijvingen gevonden. |

The book's organized in several parallel tracks--operations, shipbuilding practice, administration, and context--in ways that some will find annoying but others will find useful. The author's also handicapped by the early source material, which inhibits both detailed discussion and analysis. He really comes into his own only around the middle of the book.
Overall: Well-written, admirably researched, and interesting. An excellent source. ( )
