Book excerpt: "Was Michiel de Ruyter the greatest sea commander who ever lived? Or simply the greatest sea-commander of the 17th century? Some people see him as the man who saved the Dutch Republic, and ensured its independence. He knew how to fight a sea-battle on the grandest scale. He could also haggle like a canny Dutch merchant, achieving the release of Hungarian clergymen from Spanish captivity and that of Dutch sailors from barbarian imprisonment. Louis XIV, often his opponent, called him 'a man who did honour to humanity'. In this book, nine leading historical authorities, from seven different countries, examine his astonishing career."--Book jacket.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Dutch Admiral Michiel de Ruyter was possibly the single greatest seafaring military leader in European history, leading his nation's fleet into battle against England during three separate wars, as well as fighting the Barbary Corsairs, Sweden, and France during the period 1652 to 1677. De Ruyter first went to sea as a boatswain's mate boy at the age of eleven, and saw battle by the time he was fifteen. Captured by the Spanish before he was sixteen, he made his way home overland after a daring escape. His further adventures are then narrated in exciting detail culminating in perhaps the most audacious military sea attack ever seen, that of the June 1667 Raid on the Medway. During that incident, De Ruyter's fleet sailed up the Thames River to where the English Navy was anchored off the Chatham Dockyard and Gillingham in the county of Kent. There they burned or captured three capital ships and ten more ships of the line, and captured and towed away the flagship of the English fleet, HMS Royal Charles-the worst defeat in the Royal Navy's history, and one of the worst suffered by the British military ever. De Ruyter's stunning career continued, with expeditions in the Baltic and Mediterranean seas against a variety of foes. His adventures were only finally cut short by a French cannonball during his last battle off the island of Stromboli. "The lessons of such a life and of that portion of the histories of his own and of this country, in which he played a part, tell themselves. The importance of the command of the sea to the greatest maritime community, and the necessity of maintaining an efficient guard over the commerce of a State whose dominions lie in both hemispheres, are self-evident in any clear view of the life of de Ruyter."-from the introduction.

"adieu Foe Ever." the attempt on the french west indies--home life--the operations of 1675-76 death. With the conclusion of the war of 1672-73, de Ruyter's fame as a seaman again increased. His masterly conduct of the contest against the two most powerful nations in Europe, was a source of universal admiration. The bold attack at Solebay, which defeated the plan of invasion in 1672, the patient defensive strategy in the shoals of Schooneveldt, when the navy of the Netherlands had been unavoidably reduced in strength, followed as it was by two repulses inflicted on the superior fleets of the Allies, had greatly impressed his contemporaries. When to these triumphs succeeded the battle of Kykduin, and the eventual relief of Holland from all threats by sea, de Ruyter's renown passed all previous limits. While it was seen how his unremitting attention to details had shaped the Dutch navy to the requirements of his strategy, it is possible that the deterioration which was proceeding on the other side of the Channel, and its results in assisting de Ruyter's success, may have been overlooked, as well as the want of the determination to combat the Dutch with the same untiring energy as in Cromwell's war.f The English nation had given Charles but very grudging assistance in his two wars. This was probably fully understood by the Prince of Orange, who felt so secure in regard to the future policy of his uncle, that he now ventured, under de Ruyter's advice, while reducing the navy, to allow the preparation of a fleet destined to attack the French Antilles. On the 27th of February, 1674, de Ruyter had taken the oath of allegiance to the Prince,
