This work utilizes many primary and secondary sources to examine the Russian use of the Black Sea fleet during 1827-1841. Topics covered include Navarino, the subsequent Russo-Turkish war, the Hunkar-Iskelessi treaty and Russia's growing regional commitment. The book concludes with the second Turko-Egyptian crisis and the 1841 straits convention. The author argues that geographic, political and economic constraints resulted in a moderate Russian use of seapower, but that these limitations were not fully understood in the West.
