Book Description
This is a military history text that examines the historical record of the Great War. The very nature of many of the incidents recorded in the book precluded the preparation of detailed reports at the time. This book owes whatever merit it possesses to many individuals—captains, officers, engineers, pursers, and other ministers to British sea-power—who have assisted in its preparation, whether by recounting incidents in which they took part. The author of this historical book also explores the contribution which British seamen have made to the happiness and well-being of the world

Book Description
Written two years after the First World War, it is the story of the contribution which British seamen made for the prosperity and well-being of the world, a story that was never accounted for before. This is a tale of a merchant fleet of the day. The work aims to describe the height of technological achievement in marines of the time and the civilians who operated them, without whom the war could not have been fought in any way. These men worked in situations of negligence and difficulty that would terrify the modern reader. This thought-provoking work makes the reader consider that even though all these events happened a long time ago, one needs to remember the people who were a part of such brave acts and made this happen.

Book Description
The bestselling complete history of the British Navy - our national story through a different prism. The story of our navy is nothing less than the story of Britain, our culture and our empire. Much more than a parade of admirals and their battles, this is the story of how an insignificant island nation conquered the world's oceans to become its greatest trading empire. Yet, as Ben Wilson shows, there was nothing inevitable about this rise to maritime domination, nor was it ever an easy path. EMPIRE OF THE DEEP: THE RISE AND FALL OF THE BRITISH NAVY also reveals how our naval history has shaped us in more subtle and surprising ways - our language, culture, politics and national character all owe a great debt to this conquest of the seas. This is a gripping, fresh take on our national story.
