Naval Warfare: A global history

摘要

I have to admit to have been putting off reading and reviewing this book; I am grateful to the reviews editor for his forbearance. The reason is that I know, like and admire Professor Jeremy Black of Exeter University, one of the most prolific serious historical authors in the world with more than a hundred books to his credit. My fears were that of the specialist reviewing a generalist's work on his subject. There are bound to be errors, but hopefully not too many, however annoying.
