Seller's Description:
Fine in Fine dust jacket. 1780765452. Still stiff to open in crisp dust jacket; about new.; 5 X 1 X 8.5 inches; 256 pages; Martin Robson highlights the work of some of the key protagonists in the Royal Navy, such as Admiral Hawke whose appreciation of the wider strategic context at Quiberon Bay in 1759 decided the fate of North America, but he also provides insights into the experience of life in the lower decks at this time. Robson ultimately shows that the creation, containment and expansion of the British Empire was made possible by the exercise of maritime power through the Royal Navy.
