European Navies and the Conduct of War considers the different
contexts within which European navies operated over a period of 500
years culminating in World War Two, the greatest war ever fought at
sea. Taking a predominantly continental point of view, the book
moves away from the typically British-centric approach taken to
naval history as it considers the role of European navies in the
development of modern warfare, from its medieval origins to the
large-scale, industrial, total war of the twentieth century. Along
with this growth of navies as instruments of war, the book also
explores the long rise of the political and popular appeal of
navies, from the princes of late medieval Europe, to the
enthusiastic crowds that greeted the modern fleets of the great
powers, followed by their reassessment through their great trial by
combat, firmly placing the development of modern navies into the
broader history of the period. Chronological in structure, European
Navies and the Conduct of War is an ideal resource for students and
scholars of naval and military history.
