A propos de cet article

To Rule the Waves tells the extraordinary story of how the Royal Navy allowed England to rise to a position of global power. Its dominance allowed England's trade to prosper. It sustained its colonies, reshaped its politics, and drew England, Scotland, and Ireland together into a single United Kingdom. To Rule the Waves is an epic journey that spans more than four centuries and takes the reader from the age of Reformation to the age of computer warfare and special ops. From its beginnings under Henry VIII and adventurers like John Hawkins and Francis Drake, the Royal Navy toppled one world economic system and ushered in the one in which we still live today. Arthur Herman tells a spellbinding tale of great battles at sea; of heroic sailors, admirals, and aviators; of violent conflict and personal tragedy, and of the way one mighty institution forged a nation, an empire, and a new world. Arthur Herman is the author of How the Scots Invented the Modern World. He has been a professor of history at Georgetown University, Catholic University, George Mason University, and the University of the South. He lives in Virginia."A riveting story told by a masterful historian." -- Victor Davis Hanson, the Los Angeles Times Book Review.…
