The Safeguard of the Sea: A Naval History of Britain 660-1649: v. 1

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. `No other historian has examined the subject in anything like the detail found here. The result is an outstanding example of narrative history` Barry Unsworth, Sunday Telegraph
