A comprehensive overview of the activities of the British navy in
the Mediterranean from the earliest times until the present. This
book presents a comprehensive overview of the activities of the
British navy in the Mediterranean Sea from the earliest times until
the twentieth century. It traces developments from Anglo-Saxon
times, through the Crusades,and to the seventeenth century, when
the Barbary corsairs became a major problem. It outlines Britain's
involvement in the wars of the long eighteenth century, when
Britain obtained bases at Gibraltar, Minorca and Malta and
repeatedly defeated the French and Spanish navies. It examines the
navy's activities during the First and Second World Wars, when the
Mediterranean was again of crucial strategic significance and a
major theatre of war, and goes on toconsider Britain's withdrawal
from the Mediterranean in the later twentieth century. Throughout,
the book relates naval activity to patterns of trade, including the
rise and decline of the Levant Company, and to wider international
politics. JOHN D. GRAINGER is the author of numerous books for a
variety of publishers, including seven previously published books
for Boydell and Brewer, including The British Navy in the Baltic,
Dictionaryof British Naval Battles and The First Pacific War:
Britain and Russia, 1854-56.
