Paperback. Condizione: New. Print on Demand. Written in the years leading up to the First World War, this book examines the state of the British Royal Navy. The author argues that, due to parliamentary ignorance and governmental mishandling, the Royal Navy has been severely neglected despite its essential role in protecting the British Empire. The author claims that the Navy is England's 'all in all,' and without it, the British Empire would crumble. The book calls on the British public to demand adequate funding and provisions for the Navy to ensure its strength and preparedness for war - which, if lost, would have devastating consequences for the nation. The book remains a powerful reminder of the Navy's historical importance and serves as a cautionary tale about the dangers of military underfunding and political complacency.
