Variuos (illustrator). ## This book is classified as VERY GOOD. This is the 1945 Edition. The book was first published in 1945. The cover is blue hessian with a gold publisher's insignia; there is fading at the page edges due to the poor paper stock of the time. Pages are all readable. READ ON: For more information. ________________________________________ There are six chapters within the six hundred and sixty pages: Origins, Ships, Officers, Men, Management, In Action, plus a brief bibliography, and over 50 black and white plates on quality photographic paper, including seven battle diagrams. Unusually intact is a wonderful pullout drawing of Elizabethan guns from Lucar's Appendix to Tartaglia's Colloquies, redrawn to 1:20 scale. ________________________________________ The Navy of Britain is Michael Lewis's broad, authoritative survey of how the Royal Navy shaped the development, character, and security of the British nation. Drawing on his background as a naval officer and historian, Lewis traces the evolution of British sea power from its earliest medieval roots through the age of sail, Empire, and the modern era. His approach is narrative rather than technical, focusing on the people, decisions, and national circumstances that allowed Britain to become a maritime power of global reach. Lewis examines the growth of naval institutions, the emergence of strategic thinking, and the long interplay between political leadership and naval capability. He shows how geography, trade, and national temperament combined to push Britain toward the sea, and how the Navy became both a defensive shield and an instrument of expansion. Throughout the book, he highlights key turning points: the rise of professional seamanship, the development of disciplined fleets, the influence of figures such as Drake, Blake, and Nelson, and the transition from wooden ships to steel and steam. Lewis also explores the social and economic dimensions of naval power, showing how the service drew on a wide base of skills, labour, and national resources. He pays attention to the rhythms of naval life, the training of officers and ratings, and the traditions that bound the fleet together. The book places naval history within the wider story of Britain's political evolution, demonstrating how sea power shaped diplomacy, commerce, and the balance of power in Europe. Written just after the Second World War, the book carries a reflective tone, looking back at centuries of naval tradition to understand Britain's position in a rapidly changing world. Lewis writes with clarity and economy, avoiding jargon while still conveying the complexity of naval history. His emphasis is on continuity, national identity, and the long relationship between Britain and the sea. As a mid-century historical work, it offers both a readable overview and a window into how the Royal Navy was understood at the time: not only as a fighting force, but as a cultural and political institution central to the British story. It remains a solid, accessible account for readers interested in naval history, British history, or the evolution of maritime power. Cyprian Lucar was a late sixteenth?century English mathematician, engineer, and technical writer whose work helped bring practical mechanical knowledge into the English language at a time when most such material circulated only in specialist circles. Trained in gunnery, instrument?making, and applied mathematics, he produced early printed treatises that combined clear explanations with engraved plates showing artillery, gun carriages, measuring devices, and mechanical principles. These illustrations, often called Lucar's plates, became important records of Elizabethan military and engineering practice. ________________________________________ INTERNATIONAL BUYERS: Please note that free shipping applies to UK orders only.
