Paperback. Zustand: New. Print on Demand. This book introduces pressing as an outdated, cruel, and unnecessary way to staff the Royal Navy. By detailing the vicious cycle of brutality that results from this system, the author argues that forcing men to serve creates the same atmosphere of hatred, oppression, and vice that it purports to suppress. The author argues that people are more willing and able to serve their country when they are doing so out of a sense of civic duty and patriotism, as opposed to fear of punishment and pain. Examining the deep and complex emotions of duty, fear, and violence at the heart of British naval law and custom, this book is a must-read for anyone interested in the ethics of patriotism and the morality of naval discipline.
