Editorial Reviews

Review

"[Rodger] provides the reader with the most authoritative and enjoyable text on the subject that can be imagined."
― Patrick O'Brian

From the Back Cover

'This excellent book, both scholarly and readable, gives us a new approach to the eighteenth-century British Navy, which helps to explain its historic achievement and illuminates the society of which it was a characteristic and resounding expression throughout the world.' - A.L. Rowse
