Viac o knihe

Focusing on Britain's military and naval strategies from 1790 to 1830, the book explores how these elements shaped the nation's imperial ambitions and global influence. While Britain emerged as a significant military power, it did not achieve global dominance, instead acting as an enclave power with regional influence. Through various conflicts across Europe, North America, Africa, and India, the author argues that military effectiveness was vital for imperial expansion, offering a fresh perspective on Britain's historical role during a transformative period.
