In Battle at Sea, Sir John Keegan applies to maritime warfare the technique that he put to such brilliant effect in his classic of war on land, The Face of Battle. He concentrates on four key conflicts: Trafalgar, Jutland, Midway and the Battle of the Atlantic. He takes us into the very heart of the fighting while providing a remarkable panoramic view of naval warfare through the centuries.

Before the nuclear bomb, no weapon evoked as much fear as the battleship. Battle at Sea looks at every aspect of the story of warfare on, above and under the sea. As well as classic naval engagements on the open sea, it includes daring raids carried out on ships in harbour. Also covered are landing operations such as D-Day, where control of the sea was essential to transport land forces to new battlefronts. Decisive naval encounters are covered in dramatic detail with specially created digital artworks illustrating exactly how the battles unfolded. Battle at Sea is organized into four chapters that are arranged in chronological order. Each chapter is broken down into smaller sections, containing a mixture of battle catalogues, tours of specific ships, catalogues of ship types, and panels and double-page features (biographies, crew profiles, life on board, milestones in technology). Age of Galleys covers the Egyptians, the Greeks, the Romans, and the great naval battles between warring Chinese dynasties, as well as the fierce battles for the control of the Mediterranean; Gun, Sail, and Empire chronicles the great age of sail, when European powers set out on voyages of exploration and colonization; Steam and Steel sees the transition from sail to steam and the replacement of wooden ships by ones of iron and steel and ends with World War I; Carriers, Submarines and Missiles tracks the period in which traditional warships are effectively superseded by aircraft carriers and submarines, a position which remains today. Although few battles are now fought at sea, naval forces still have a vital part to play in the uncertainties of the modern world.

Naval warfare is vividly brought to life, from first contact through how battles were won and lost to damage repair.Our understanding of warfare at sea in the eighteenth century has always been divorced from the practical realities of fighting at sea under sail; our knowledge of tactics is largely based upon the ideas of contemporary theorists[rather than practitioners] who knew little of the realities of sailing warfare, and our knowledge of command is similarly flawed. In this book the author presents new evidence from contemporary sources that overturns many old assumptions and introduces a host of new ideas. In a series of thematic chapters, following the rough chronology of a sea fight from initial contact to damage repair, the author offers a dramatic interpretation of fighting at sea inthe eighteenth century, and explains in greater depth than ever before how and why sea battles (including Trafalgar) were won and lost in the great Age of Sail. He explains in detail how two ships or fleets identified each other to be enemies; how and why they manoeuvred for battle; how a commander communicated his ideas, and how and why his subordinates acted in the way that they did.

Winner of the John Lyman Book Award for Naval and Maritime Science and Technology. “A compelling and convincing historical analysis of World War I.” —Navy News While the overriding image of the First World War is of the bloody stalemate on the western front, the overall shape of the war arose out of its maritime character. It was essentially a struggle about access to worldwide resources, most clearly seen in Germany’s desperate attempts to counter the American industrial threat, which ultimately drew the United States into the war. This radical new book concentrates on the way in which each side tried to use or deny the sea to the other, and in so doing, describes rapid wartime changes not only in ship and weapons technology but also in the way naval warfare was envisaged and fought. Melding strategic, technical, and tactical aspects, Friedman approaches the First World War from a fresh perspective and demonstrates how its perceived lessons dominated the way navies prepared for the Second World War. “Friedman is a master of the evolution of naval strategy, tactics and technology . . . a rewarding read that will leave many wanting to return again and again just to see what they might have missed the first time.” —Australian Naval Institute “Dr. Friedman’s research credentials are impeccable, and the huge amount of factual detail he has unearthed will be sure to delight many . . . there is nothing comparable in either depth or scope out there, and for this reason, if no other, this book is likely to become a standard work on the naval aspects of the Great War.” —Naval War College Review

Experiences of the momentous fleet battle of the Great War at sea The narratives of the fighting at Jutland which are collected in this book were all written by officers or men who were present at the battle, and they are, therefore, first-hand evidence of the detailed events of the fighting. The book is not a criticism; it is a record of personal experiences. One has often felt that a great gap would be filled in the histories of old-time naval battles if one could read true stories of all the hundred and one personal incidents of the fighting that must have occurred in the days of old. Imagine the adventure that could be contained in a book truly describing the fighting incidents of Trafalgar! What an insight it would give us into the character and courage of the men who served Nelson. So this book of the Fighting at Jutland is an endeavour to fill a like gap for the one fleet action of the War of 1914-18. (From the Introduction) This book benefits from the inclusion a useful supporting narrative of the action in detail and at large to give the experiences of the individual authors context and to clarify their role in the wider conflict, as well as numerous photographs, illustrations, maps and diagrams demonstrating the manoeuvring of vessels. Available in softcover and hardcover with dustjacket.

Millennia of conflict have made famous the names of great naval battles -- Salamis, Actium, Lepanro, the Spanish Armada, Trafalgar, Tsushima, Jutland, Pearl Harbor Midway, the Battle of the Atlantic. In lively text and with more than eighty full-colour images and one hundred black-and-white photographs, Lost Warships traces the history of war at sea from the beginnings of naval combat in the ancient Mediterranean and on China's rivers and lakes through to the lost ships and sea battles of the Second World War. Lost Warships is a tour through that great, rarely visited museum on the ocean's floor and the lost warships that lie there. It also brings to life archaeologists' reconstructions of the past, including legendary events such as the last desperate sea battle of Antony and Cleopatra, Kublai Khan's seaborne invasion of medieval Japan and the aircraft carrier Saratoga, sunk by a nuclear explosion in 1946 in the first naval tests of atomic weapons. Clearly written, comprehensive and meticulously researched, this stunning book is a must-read for anyone interested in history, war and the sea.
