The true story of how Britain's maritime power helped gain this
country unparalleled dominance of the world's economy, Admirals
celebrates the rare talents of the men who shaped the most
successful fighting force in world history. Told through the lives
and battles of eleven of our most remarkable admirals - men such as
James II and Robert Blake - Andrew Lambert's book stretches from
the Spanish Armada to the Second World War, culminating with the
spirit which led Andrew Browne Cunningham famously to declare, when
the army feared he would lose too many ships, 'it takes three years
to build a ship; it takes three centuries to build a tradition.'
