British Naval Documents 1206 – 1960. Covering a general introduction, policy and strategy, tactics and operations, administration, material and weapons and personnel.
In this biography of Horatio Nelson, Ernle Bradford discusses Nelson’s own battles, but also looks at naval warfare of the period in general. The author describes the strategies, the tactics, the ponderous ship-to-ship bombardments, the terrifying injuries, as well as Nelson’s policy of annihilation of the opposing fleet, making the point that Nelson regarded the escape of a single enemy ship as a failure. With illustrations & maps
Being a collection by a sailor of impeccable nautical qualities of the many and varied facts and myths of the sea. Full of salty yarns about ancient heroes and savage pirates, rowdy songs, dastardly u-boats, signal flags, grog and everything else.
