Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. This book offers a fresh perspective on the origins of the British Navy, challenging the traditional view that it was born during the reign of Alfred the Great.

Through detailed accounts of key battles and technological advancements, the author sheds light on the strategies and tactics that shaped the course of maritime history. The book delves into the broader historical context of naval warfare, highlighting the role of sea power in shaping international relations and the balance of power. The author examines the interplay between naval strategy and economic factors, as well as the impact of technological innovations on the development of warships and naval tactics.
