Riassunto

Interspersing topical chapters with chronological ones, Guilmartin (history and early modern European history, Ohio State U.) explores how the Mediterranean system of armed conflict at sea operated over the course of the 16th century. Among his findings is that the war galley held it own against the broadside sailing vessel into the 1580s; and the because of the characteristics of black powder and early modern naval ordinance, there was no direct relationship between a cannon's barrel length and its maximum effective range. The 1974 first edition was published by Cambridge University Press. Annotation ©2004 Book News, Inc., Portland, OR (booknews.com)
