Naval Warfare

"Naval Warfare" by James R. Thursfield is a book about battles at sea from around 1900, which explains how important it is for countries to control the oceans during wars. It talks about how the ability to win naval battles can change who wins and loses the war and also looks at the history of sea battles, especially between England and Holland, showing how controlling the sea can help a country do well in war and in politics. The book argues that everyone, not just soldiers, should learn about naval power because it is so important to a country's plans and defence. The author explains that war is when countries fight, and how having a strong navy is a big part of winning those fights.
