This book looks at naval
power as a key component policy and national life. It aims to analyse to what
extent, and how, naval power shaped the development of Europe,
both in war and peace. The book examines the contribution of sea power as an
instrument of defence and conquest, its direct effects on the economy and its
indirect effects as a protector of foreign trade. It also studies the Navy as a
society in miniature, and as a part of society at large. This book cover not
only the history of naval operations, but important aspects of national
political, social, economic, technical and medical history, among others. 4th
edition.
