Book Description Soft cover. Condition: New. A brand new, unopened and unread paperback copy with a small grubby mark on the top page edges. Otherwise immaculate. Paul Kennedy's absorbing and detailed book traces Britain's rise and fall as a sea power from the Tudors to the present day. Challenging the traditional view that the British are natural 'sons of the waves,' he suggests instead that the country's fortunes as a significant maritime force have always been bound up with its economic growth. In doing so, he contributes significantly to the centuries-long debate between 'continental' and 'maritime' schools of strategy over Britain's policy in times of war. Illustrated. Paperback, pictorial front cover, thick 8vo: xviij, 406pp., [6]pp., 10 maps, epilogue, references, general bibliography, index. We pack our books properly and ship daily from the UK.
