Description
A comprehensive history of Britain's maritime power and its impact on global dominance, Admirals explores the lives and battles of eleven remarkable admirals who shaped the country's most successful fighting force. From the Spanish Armada to the Second World War, this book delves into the stories of men like James II and Robert Blake, shedding light on the spirit that led Andrew Browne Cunningham to declare, 'it takes three years to build a ship; it takes three centuries to build a tradition.'
Andrew Lambert's book provides a fascinating insight into the rare talents of these individuals who played a crucial role in shaping Britain's naval history. With its broad scope and engaging narrative, Admirals offers a unique perspective on the country's unparalleled dominance of the world's economy.
