Synopsis

This book contains a collection of essays and verse on the topic of sea warfare written by Rudyard Kipling. It is both a factual account of nautical manoeuvres during World War One and a poetic masterpiece, and is highly recommended for fans and collectors of Kipling's work. The essays of this collection include: "The Fringes of the Fleet" (1915), "Tales of The Trade" (1916), and "Destroyers at Jutland" (1916).

Présentation de l'éditeur

The Navy is very old and very wise. Much of her wisdom is on record and available for reference; but more of it works in the unconscious blood of those who serve her. She has a thousand years of experience, and can find precedent or parallel for any situation that the force of the weather or the malice of the King's enemies may bring about. The main principles of sea-warfare hold good throughout all ages, and, so far as the Navy has been allowed to put out her strength, these principles have been applied over all the seas of the world. For matters of detail the Navy, to whom all days are alike, has simply returned to the practice and resurrected the spirit of old days.
