From the Back Cover
For all its faults, and they are many, Colomb's Naval Warfare is a significant contribution to the study of war at sea and the objectives, efficacy, and limitations of sea power. First, it is important because it drew to the national attention of the British at a time of urgency and confusion the value of maintaining a fleet capable of fulfilling the necessary mandate of such a sea service.

Naval Warfare: Its Ruling Principles and Practice Historically Treated
Print on DemandSeller: Forgotten Books, London, United Kingdom
Seller rating 4 out of 5 stars
Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. This book traces the emergence of naval warfare as a distinct and complex form of warfare, separate from land-based military conflicts. The author argues that while there were battles at sea in ancient times, true naval warfareâ"in which control of the sea itself is the primary objectiveâ"only emerged with the development of ships that could stay at sea for extended periods. The book examines early sea battles, where the focus was on cross-border raiding and plundering, and traces the gradual shift towards a focus on controlling sea lanes and protecting commerce. The author also explores the impact of technological advancements, such as the development of sea-going ships and the use of steam power, on the conduct of naval warfare. Overall, this book provides a comprehensive and insightful look at the historical evolution of naval warfare and its impact on global history. This book is a reproduction of an important historical work, digitally reconstructed using state-of-the-art technology to preserve the original format. In rare cases, an imperfection in the original, such as a blemish or missing page, may be replicated in the book. print-on-demand item. Seller Inventory # 9781331314318_0
