Présentation de l'éditeur
The conquest of the sea is mans greatest triumph. The stages of this triumph from the time when the savage first took advantage of the floating properties of the log, down through all the ages until the present day, are shown in moving pictures by this book. Sea Power and Freedom depicts mainly the career and achievements of the British Navy; because the British Navy is the greatest embodiment of sea power that has ever been attained, and because it has accomp Ushed more than any other agency, to achieve the conquest of the sea. The career and achievements of other navies and of various merchant marines as well are picturesquely shown; and the scenes succeed each other in such rapid but well-ordered fashion, that the story runs uninterrupted and harmonious from the first page to the last. There is nothing a man fears more naturally and more profoundly than the water. While the ordinary man remains on land, though subjected to dangers of various kinds, he has a feeling of being where he belongs; but once in the water, or in a vessel floating on the water, fear that his breathing will suddenly be stopped has to be subdued by force of will; and it is only after familiarity with the danger has been attained that the fear is entirely overcome.

Évaluation du vendeur 4 sur 5 étoiles
Paperback. Etat : New. Print on Demand. This book examines the many ways in which sea power has shaped history, beginning with the ancient Mediterranean world and extending through the rise of England as a dominant maritime force. The author argues that sea power, defined as the ability to use the sea for both economic and military purposes, has been a crucial factor in the development of civilizations and empires. The book explores the different ways in which sea power has been used, from trade and exploration to warfare and conquest. It also examines the relationship between sea power and freedom, arguing that maritime dominance has often been closely associated with the growth of democratic institutions. This book offers a broad and ambitious view of maritime history, and it provides a fresh perspective on the role of sea power in the development of human civilization. This book is a reproduction of an important historical work, digitally reconstructed using state-of-the-art technology to preserve the original format.
