A propos du livre

Présentation de l'éditeur

Imperial defence. It was with considerable hesitation and reluctance that I acceded to such representations, because I. felt that I should have to refer to many topics which could be better dealt with by a sailor. On the other hand, lay the argument that the part our army must play in world warfare was sometimes underrated, and that, though secondary to the navy, its efficiency was still an essential element in the force which secured our safety or existence. Imperial defence, although it cannot be carried out at all without a navy, cannot be accomplished by a navy alone; and, the two services being complementary to one another, it seemed not illogical to endeavour to view them in combination and lay stress on the correlation that exists between them. But that all the armed forces we possess should be regarded as a whole was a view I had long held ;and such being my opinion, I had the less difficulty in persuading myself to write. In addition, an even more powerful motive actuated me. A constant examination of the history of past campaigns had impressed on me the value of a habit of examining war, and the preparation for war, from the business point of view.

Présentation de l'éditeur

This book was originally published prior to 1923, and represents a reproduction of an important historical work, maintaining the same format as the original work. While some publishers have opted to apply OCR (optical character recognition) technology to the process, we believe this leads to sub-optimal results (frequent typographical errors, strange characters and confusing formatting) and does not adequately preserve the historical character of the original artifact. We believe this work is culturally important in its original archival form. While we strive to adequately clean and digitally enhance the original work, there are occasionally instances where imperfections such as blurred or missing pages, poor pictures or errant marks may have been introduced due to either the quality of the original work or the scanning process itself. Despite these occasional imperfections, we have brought it back into print as part of our ongoing global book preservation commitment, providing customers with access to the best possible historical reprints. We appreciate your understanding of these occasional imperfections, and sincerely hope you enjoy seeing the book in a format as close as possible to that intended by the original publisher.
