The Only Mar Is The Previous Owners' Name And Date On Top Of Half-Title Page. The Result Of An Exhaustive, International Research Effort, The Book Also Has Been Acknowledged By Naval Historians To Be One Of The Very Early Attempts To Broaden Naval History Into A Serious Study Of Logistics And Supply And Of Technology And Operations. In A Delightfully Absorbing Prose Rare For Such Studies, Robert Albion Relates These Pivotal Issues Throughout The Two-Hundred-Year Period That Saw Most Of The Greatest Naval Wars Of The Age Of Sail, From The First Dutch War Of 1652 To The Introduction Of The Ironclad Early In The American Civil War.
