Paperback. Zustand: New. Print on Demand. This book, an extensive analysis of naval tactics, begins by contrasting British and French approaches to ship-to-ship combat during the 18th century. The author contends that while British ships focused on destroying the enemy hull, the French instead targeted masts and rigging, a strategy which the author's research finds often led to better outcomes. The book is a detailed and accessible account of seamanship and naval history during a period of rapid change and enormous advances in naval strategy, providing insights into what shaped the outcomes of many famous battles.
