"In the great wars of modern history maritime powers have always prevailed over land-based empires, whether Habsburg, Napoleonic, Nazi or Soviet. This book charts the growth of linked strengths - sea-fighting, trading, financial and constitutional - which made them so formidable. It also reveals the way in which supremacy at sea freed thought and society itself." "Changes in society, politics, trade - including the slave trade - and in naval capability are interwoven with descriptions of the great sea battles by which world power was won."--Jacket.
