Quick Facts Author, Language ...

The second edition has a foreword by Professor Andrew Lambert which concludes that the contemporary relevance of this book has never been stronger.[1]

Despite the emergence of much new work since 1967, addressing almost every aspect of the subject ... the book remains the baseline for any study of naval force in British Imperial diplomacy between the Crimean War of 1854-56 and the Entente Cordiale of 1904.

— Professor Andrew Lambert[2]
