Famous Sea-Fights [Illustrated]: From Salamis to Tsushima

"These true stories of the sea will, I trust, have not only the interest that belongs to all records of courage, danger, and adventure, but also some practical lessons of their own, for they may help to keep alive that intelligent popular interest in sea power which is the best guarantee that the interests of our own navy..." - John Richard Hale Famous Sea-Fights, from Salamis to Tsushima is a classic study of naval history; it was written in 1911 for a common audience, though remains uncompromising in its scale and detail. This rare balance made it an instant hit - one which is still highly readable (and instructive) today. From the oar-driven galleys of ancient Greece to the steam-powered battleships of the 20th century, Famous Sea-Fights covers fourteen of the world's most important and fascinating naval engagements. It is a perfect introduction to the history of naval warfare, yet still offers plenty of insights for the expert in naval history. This edition, compiled and returned to print by The Dissident Review, brings Hale's writing to life in a high-quality hardcover package. Our edition enriches the text with paintings, diagrams, charts, and photographs, including the diagrams printed in the original edition as well as original elements.
