Industrialism brought not peace but the sword. And the tip of that sword was sea power.In Power at Sea, Lisle A. Rose gives us an unprecedented narrative assessment of modern sea power, how it emerged from the Age of Fighting Sail, how it was employed in war and peace, and how it has shaped the life of the human community over the past century and a quarter. In this first volume, Rose recalls the early twentieth-century world of emerging, predatory industrial nations engaging in the last major scramble for global markets and empire. In such times, an imposing war fleet was essential to both national security and international prestige. Battleship navies became pawns of power politics, and between 1890 and 1914 four of them--Britain’s Royal Navy, the Imperial German Navy, the Japanese Navy, and the U.S. Navy--set the tone and rhythm of international life.Employing a global canvas, Rose portrays the increasingly frantic naval race between Britain and Germany.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e**STAR SELLER **\u003cbr\u003eSmooth shipping\u003cbr\u003eSpeedy replies\u003cbr\u003eSmoke\/Pet free home\u003cbr\u003eFree shipping\u003cbr\u003e1244","brand":"Three Pigeons Bookshop","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47143543668934,"sku":null,"price":70.4,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0749\/7983\/6102\/files\/il_fullxfull.6481337402_nvo2.jpg?v=1788610053","url":"https:\/\/threepigeonsbookshop.com\/products\/power-at-sea-three-volumes-1890-2006","provider":"Three Pigeons Bookshop","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
