Paperback. Condición: New. Print on Demand. This book traces the emergence of naval warfare as a distinct and complex form of warfare, separate from land-based military conflicts. The author argues that while there were battles at sea in ancient times, true naval warfareâ"in which control of the sea itself is the primary objectiveâ"only emerged with the development of ships that could stay at sea for extended periods. The book examines early sea battles, where the focus was on cross-border raiding and plundering, and traces the gradual shift towards a focus on controlling sea lanes and protecting commerce. The author also explores the impact of technological advancements, such as the development of sea-going ships and the use of steam power, on the conduct of naval warfare. Overall, this book provides a comprehensive and insightful look at the historical evolution of naval warfare and its impact on global history.
