The book explores the tactics and strategy required to win battles with the technology available, and points out how the development of such weapons changed the face of naval warfare. Divided into five sections, the text first examines the ancient methods of fighting at sea. Fighting Techniques of Naval Warfare describes why some navies and admirals were more effective than others, and why certain tactics were successful or not. Progressing through the ages, each section contains four key battles illustrated with maps to highlight the tactics in vogue at the time, while the accompanying text describes the equipment used by navies of the period. The battles featured include Actium, Sluys, the Armada, Sacheon, Quiberon Bay, Lake Erie, and Jutland. Using specially-commissioned colour and black-and-white artworks to illustrate the battles, equipment and tactics of the era, Fighting Techniques of Naval Warfare shows in detail the methods by which navies gained and lost ascendancy on the oceans.Country/Region of Manufacture: GBGenre: Law & PoliticsBook Series: Fighting TechniquesSubtitle: Strategy, Weapons, Commanders and ShipsItem Weight: 1050gAuthor: Dr Phyllis G Jestice, Iain Dickie, Christer Jorgensen, Martin J Dougherty, Rob S RiceItem Width: 25mmRelease Year: 2009 Missing Information?Please contact us if any details are missing and where possible we will add the information to our listing.
