British Admirals of the Eighteenth Century: Tactics in Battle - Hardcover
Originally published in 1972, the book examines the tactical problems which faced some of the greatest admirals of the eighteenth century and describes how they dealt with them, as well as examining accounts of famous battles such as The Glorious First of June and Trafalgar.
Differing from orthodox opinions, the author shows that the belief that the fighting instructions of the eighteenth century were Admiralty orders which cramped the initiative of admirals has been disproved by documentary evidence and he argues that a study of the most important sea battles of the eighteenth century indicates that the view that tactics at sea should always be based on principles which had been accepted as axiomatic in land warfare appears to have been misguided.
