Naval Warfare - Couverture rigide

Thursfield, James R

 
9781140281030: Naval Warfare

Présentation de l'éditeur

The title chosen by its author for this Uttle volume would assuredly commend it to the Naval Service, even if that authors name were not as it is a household word with more than one generation of naval officers. But to such of the general public as are not yet familiar with Mr Thursfield swritings a brief word of introduction may perhaps be useful. For the matters herein dealt with are by no means of interest only to the naval profession. They have their bearing also on every ca Uing and trade. In these days when national poUcy is at the mercy of the ballot-box, it is not too much to say that a right understanding of the principles of maritime warfare is almost as desirable amongst civilians as amongst professional sailors. Regrettable indeed would it be if the mere fact that this Uttle book bears a more or less technical title should tempt the careless to skip its pages or pitch it to that dreary Umbo which attends even the best of text-books on subjects which we think do not concern us.
