The Price of Admiralty: War at Sea From Man of War to Submarine by John Keegan

Book Description

Secondhand. Very good condition. Minor wear to book corners and edges. Dust jacket has some light creasing at top edge and at spine. Interior and binding are also very good.

In this book, John Keegan aims to apply the same techniques he used in his earlier book, The Face of Battle, to discover how men have fought at sea and to explore the nature of the individual's experience of combat over time.

Kegan begins with the Battle of Trafalgar in 1805, then the Battle of Jutland in 1916, and then to the Battle of Midway in World War II. Finally, he examines the Battle for the Atlantic.
