Sir Julian Corbett (1854-1922) was a pioneer in the analysis of
naval affairs and in examining naval strategy within the wider
context of national policy. His great asset was the historical
rigour that he brought to the study of his subject and his ability
to draw out the larger patterns and ideas that informed the past.
This five-volume set covers the period from 1550 to 1715, bringing
together the first three of Corbett's five major studies of
England's naval history. In Drake and the Tudor Navy and Successors
of Drake (Volume I-III), Corbett presents one of the first truly
modern naval histories, shifting the focus away from chronicles of
battles to the interplay of national strategy, policy and
operations. In England in the Mediterranean (Volumes IV-V), Corbett
demonstrates how a relatively small naval presence exerted an
influence far greater than mere numbers or battles would suggest.
It establishes the key theme of Corbett's later thinking: the wider
diplomatic importance of naval activity and the relative
unimportance of fleet battle. This set includes an extensive new
introduction by leading naval historian, Andrew Lambert, which
considers Corbett's life and work within the geostrategical context
of his own times.
