Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. This book offers illuminating insights into the efficiency or failings of the British Admiralty during a period of significant global maritime change from 1849-1861. Its release comes at a time of heightened public interest in the military capabilities of Britain in the face of apparent expansionism on the continent. The author details how, in spite of substantial financial investment in the Royal Navy, an absence of statutory framework or accountable leadership results in a failure to stay abreast of French naval innovations and organisation. The author adeptly analyses the impact of ineffective governance, the piecemeal approach of various Admiralties, and the reliance on outdated systems, concluding that such a lack of organisation and innovation would leave Britain in a perilous position in the face of a well-prepared enemy.
