This first general survey of European naval and maritime history
for the period from A.D. 300 to 1500 focuses on Western Europe,
including the Baltic, North Sea, and Atlantic traditions, and on
the Mediterranean, particularly Byzantine and Moslem naval history.
The authors survey a number of interconnected areas: the use of
seapower in international and intercultural relations, commerce and
trade routes, naval technology and design, military tactics, the
physical features of seafaring, and the geography of the sea. They
make accessible to the general reader very technical scholarship,
and provide numerous maps and illustrations that explain the
changes in ship design and construction. The overall result is a
powerful historical synthesis whiich gives students, teachers, and
general readers a "feel" for the seafaring life and the place of
the sea within medieval civilization.
