Sea Power and Freedom: A Historical Study

By Gerard Fiennes

Book Overview

""Sea Power and Freedom: A Historical Study"" by Gerard Fiennes is a comprehensive exploration of the relationship between naval power and the concept of freedom throughout history. The book covers a wide range of topics, including the ancient Greeks and Romans, the Age of Exploration, the rise of European empires, and the modern era of naval warfare. Fiennes argues that sea power has been a crucial factor in the development of free societies, enabling nations to maintain their independence and project their influence across the globe. He also examines the ways in which sea power has been used to promote or undermine freedom, from piracy and privateering to naval blockades and the use of submarines. Drawing on a wealth of primary sources and historical scholarship, ""Sea Power and Freedom"" offers a fascinating look at the interplay between naval strategy and political ideology throughout history.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
