ISBN: 9780198291350 / Angielski / Twarda / 208 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. Dispelling many of the myths surrounding the East-West naval arms race, this book documents the largely unobserved nuclearization of naval forces and analyzes the implications for future security and arms control. The authors conclude that, contrary to common perception, the Soviet navy is at a considerable military disadvantage in the world's waters, a condition that should hold true for the foreseeable future.

The Navy of Edward VI and Mary I
ISBN: 9781409418474 / Angielski / Twarda / 696 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. The reigns of Edward VI and Mary I remain largely by-passed in naval history, yet it was a vital time for the administration of the navy and it saw the apprenticeship of many who would lead the service in Elizabeth's later years. This volume helps to fill the gap and includes all the extant Treasurer's and Victualler's accounts for the two reigns together with entries taken verbatim from the State Papers which augment the calendar summaries previously published, and correct a good many errors. In addition documents are printed here for the first time from a variety of archives in Britain and...

The Royal Navy in River Plate 1806-1807
ISBN: 9781859282922 / Angielski / Twarda / 398 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. This book presents a collection of contemporary documents throwing light on the campaigns by the Royal Navy, in association with the army, on cities of the Spanish Empire in South America, beginning with the (unauthorised) assault on Buenos Aires in 1806, by Sir Home Popham. One of Pophama s aims was to open South America for British trade and also perhaps to liberate the land from its supposed Spanish oppressors, and although the people of Buenos Aires may not have wished to remain as Spanish subjects, it soon became apparent that they had no wish to become British subjects. It was this fact...

ISBN: 9781443805995 / Angielski / Miękka / 551 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. Cooper had a keen and considerably academic interest in naval affairs, probably springing in part from his naval service as a young man. This resulted in several minor works and a few major ones, of which this, tracing the American force from pre-Revolutionary origins to the end of the war of 1812, is the most significant.

ISBN: 9781591142447 / Angielski / Miękka / 696 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. One of the great spectacles of modern naval history is the Imperial Japanese Navy's instrumental role in Japan's rise from an isolationist feudal kingdom to a potent military empire stridently confronting, in 1941, the world's most powerful nation. Years of painstaking research and analysis of previously untapped Japanese-language resources have produced this remarkable study of the navy's dizzying development, tactical triumphs, and humiliating defeat. Unrivaled in its breadth of coverage and attention to detail, this important new history explores the foreign and indigenous influences on...

Nelson's Sailors: the Exploits of Officers & Men of the Royal Navy
ISBN: 9780857068682 / Angielski / Twarda / 300 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. Accounts of the 'Hearts of Oak'
As the European age of empires developed it was inevitable that, as an island state, Britain would develop as a nation of sailors and that in consequence its need for a powerful navy would exceed that of its European neighbours who could potentially expand by land and therefore have a need to defend long land borders. So the 'great age of sail' was epitomised by the Royal Navy. From the time of Drake and the defeat of the Spanish Armada the British navy grew in in both its renown and its efficiency. In the eighteenth century, as the wars with France raged,... Accounts of the 'Hearts of Oak'

ISBN: 9780817317799 / Angielski / Twarda / 208 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. "Bluejackets in the Blubber Room" explores key events in US maritime history from the 1820s to the end of the Civil War through the biography of the sailing ship William Badger.

Ask the Chief: Backbone of the Navy
ISBN: 9781591144410 / Angielski / Miękka / 270 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. Whenever sailors are confronted with 'unsolvable' problems--be it a fouled anchor or paint that won't dry--they often throw up their hands and exclaim, 'We'd better ask the Chief.' That refrain, heard for generations throughout the Navy, is the theme for Jack Leahy's newest book. Written at sea, his book provides a compelling picture of the Chief Petty Officer's community in the U.S. Navy. As a guest of the Chief Petty Officer's mess aboard USS George Washington during Operation Enduring Freedom, Leahy was granted complete and unfettered access to all areas of the massive carrier and...

The Milne Papers : Volume II: The Royal Navy and the Outbreak of the American Civil War, 1860-1862
ISBN: 9781409446866 / Angielski / Twarda / 760 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. Centred upon a man who never participated in combat operations during his sixty-year naval career, this volume depicts the routine peacetime operations of the mid-Victorian Royal Navy, operations that have received short shrift in naval histories, even though they have constituted the bulk of the service's mission during the past two centuries. Not surprisingly, the Navy operated in support of the liberal state and its agenda, as many of the documents in this collection make clear. Following the Monroe Doctrine in 1823, both Britain and the United States moved quickly to exploit new trade...

American Naval History, 1607-1865: Overcoming the Colonial Legacy
ISBN: 9780803240520 / Angielski / Twarda / 216 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. For its first eighty-five years, the United States was only a minor naval power. Its fledgling fleet had been virtually annihilated during the War of Independence and was mostly trapped in port by the end of the War of 1812. How this meager presence became the major naval power it remains to this day is the subject of American Naval History, 1607 1865: Overcoming the Colonial Legacy. A wide-ranging yet concise survey of the U.S. Navy from the colonial era through the Civil War, the book draws on American, British, and French history to reveal how navies reflect diplomatic,...

The Enemy at Trafalgar: the Battle From the Perspective of the French & Spanish Navies and Their Sailors
ISBN: 9780857068668 / Angielski / Twarda / 316 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. The men and ships who fought Nelson
Avid readers and students of the Napoleonic Wars are often disappointed at the paucity of information translated into English on the subject of French forces. This is particularly frustrating since it is well known that there is a wealth of material available in French concerning the war on land and at sea. This book will therefore be something of a treat for those interested in the naval conflict-particularly what is arguably the most famous and significant naval battle of the period-from the perspective of the French and Spanish officers and seamen...
