19642120glsAnnapolis Maryland: Naval Institute Press 1964. Octavo navy blue cloth hardcover red spine label gilt letters & illus. to upper cover xv 555 pp. Near-Fine in a Very Good dust jacket with lightly rubbed edges and sticker residue to upper cover. From dust jacket: Originally published in 1937 this classic study of naval strategy tactics and ship design from the Greco-Persian Wars to the Campaign of Actium continues to be acknowledged as the best work on the subject to be written. With its companion volume Naval Warfare under Oars it offers a comprehensive examination of the principles of early naval warfare principles that have remained valid through the centuries despite dramatic technological advances in weaponry and ship design. Although much of the control of battle has now moved from the admiral on the bridge to the computers in the combat information center the basic rationale for the existence of a naval force -- to control what happens at sea -- has not changed since the Venetians and Spaniards first engaged their enemies on the water. And a thorough understanding of strategic principles as presented here is as vital today as ever. The author Admiral William L. Rodgers spent years preparing this classic work. In addition to comprehensive descriptions of individual campaigns and battle plans he offers a useful analysis of the political and economic conditions that led belligerent nations to war. His skillful reconstruction of the designs of ancient ships for which no records have survived makes a significant contribution to historical record. Naval Institute Press, (1964). hardcover books
