Naval and Military Operations of Great Britain is the single most
important contemporary account of the Royal Navy in the 18th
century. Its six volumes present a new approach to naval strategy.
Defeat in the American Revolutionary War called into question the
assumptions of superiority upon which so much earlier commentary on
naval affairs had been based. By addressing the specific causes of
the disaster, the author, Robert Beatson (1742-1818), hoped to
render both the navy and the nation wiser for the future. Lauded by
key figures in the development of naval strategy, including John
Laughton, Alfred T. Mahan, and Julian Corbett, this work remains
fundamental to modern scholarship on the nature of British naval
power and is an especially rich source of information on the
British army's campaign in North America. This edition contains a
substantial new introduction by leading naval scholar, Andrew
Lambert (King's College London).
