Summary
In this outstanding book, naval historian Peter Padfield explores the ways in which maritime strength has influenced political power from the mid-19th century to the modern age.
Freedom of expression and individual enterprise have distinguished the societies of powers dominant at sea, and since supreme maritime nations have prevailed over their territorial rivals in the great wars of the modern era, it is they who have created today's world.
In this final volume of his masterful trilogy, Padfield carries the theme through the terrible wars of the last century to the present, with vivid descriptions of the naval battles that have shaped our world.
