Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Studies in Naval History Biographies These Studies, now collected from the different magazines in which they have first appeared, will not, I hope, be considered as merely reclaimed waifs; for the idea of thus bringing them together in a more permanent form has always been present to me, even whilst originally writing them: and having carefully revised them by the light of the most recent published information and of our own Records, to which the Admiralty has been pleased to permit me free access, I offer them, not only as the relation of some stirring episodes in naval history, but as, each in its own way, a contribution to the earnest study of naval policy, strategy, or tactics. I have only to add that the dates relating to Continental affairs are given throughout in New Style: those which belong to English correspondence, English records, or to purely English incidents are in Old Style; though occasionally I have given the double date. It is always a troublesome point, and I can only hope that I have minimised the customary confusion. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Nelson: And Other Naval Studies Ith one exception the essays here collected have appeared previously at different times during the last few years in various serial publications. I have to thank the conductors of The Times, The Quarterly Re view, The Naval Annual, The United Service Magazine, and The National Review for permission to reprint them. I Should add that I do not claim the authorship of the first paper in the volume. It originally appeared in The Times as a leading article on the hundredth anniversary of Trafalgar, and it so well represents the spirit in which, as I think, Englishmen should celebrate an anniversary of the kind that I have obtained the permission of the conductors of The Times to reprint it as a fitting intro duction to a volume which deals so largely with Nelson and his crowning victory at Trafalgar.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Story of Our Navy In these days, when efficiency is demanded in every occupation, young readers can readily understand that, where forces are even, Victories in war come about, as a rule, not because one Side is so much braver or more patriotic than the other, but because one Side does better thinking and better Shooting. Now the modern historical spirit is based upon research and guided by impartial inquiry, and the application of modern methods gives a broader View than the Older' naval histories which emphasized blood and smoke and victory, and exalted one side at the expense of the other. The modern view-point adds much to the picture, for it shows not only the pre-eminent influence of brains, science, discipline, and target practice, but also the vital importance of freedom from political influence, and the high part which sea power plays in general history. It is certain that the splendid record of our navy will gain in brilliancy when set against the larger background.

If so I shall attempt no defence, being satisfied with the reasons that led me to do it, and feeling that as a memoirist I am at least in some good company. My hope is to be read by young naval officers, who may be interested to see the changes in what is probably the finest profession in the world - viz. The British Navy. I have tried to avoid all mention of my private life; because however interesting to myself, I cannot suppose it would be so to others.

Particularly is he grateful to Charles Lee Lewis, Professor Emeritus, U. S. Naval Academy, his first mentor in the field of naval history, and to Professor Louis H Bolander, librarian of the U. S. Naval Academy, retired, whose wide knowledge and cheerful assistance in research have informed many pages in this book.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Naval Miscellany, Vol. 1 IN the course of the last few years I have received from different quarters and have collected a variety Of documents, individually too short for a volume, and yet of such interest as to render it very desirable to lay them before the Society. In considering how best to do this, the Council resolved that they would from time to time issue a miscellaneous volume Of such papers. This is the first. In preparing the several items Of it for the press, I have had the able assistance of Mr. Corbett. Who, fresh from his studies Of Drake and Drake's successors, took charge of the Voyage to Cadiz, ' which, by itself, with its unique map and representations of early divisional flags, would make the volume noteworthy. For the editing Of the other papers I am personally responsible, though I have unsparingly taxed the assistance of many friends to whom I have referred points Of difficulty. To them and to the owners Of the papers I return my warmest thanks for the gift - not to me, but to the Society, and through it.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from From Sail to Steam: Recollections of Naval Life If such a man has the genius of his business, as had Frois sart and Boswell, he excels in proportion to his unconscious ness of the fact; his colors run truer. For lesser gabblers, who have not genius, the best way to lose consciousness is just to let themselves go; if they endeavor to paint ar tistically the muddle will be worse. To such the proverb of the cobbler and his last is of perennial warning. AS a barber once sagely remarked to me, You can't trim a beard well, unless you're born to it. It is possible in some degree to imitate Froissart and Boswell in that marvellous diligence to accumulate material which was common to them both; but, when gathered, how impossible it is to work up that old junk into permanent engrossing interest let those answer who have grappled with ancient chronicles.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Naval Warfare I should hope that readers who have found this volume useful to them will not confine their studies to it. Abundant materials for a deeper and more comprehensive study of the subject will be found in the several works incidentally mentioned or quoted in my text, and in the writings Of those other contemporary authors with whom Sir Charles Ottley has done me the high honour to associate myself. In these several works further guidance to a still more sustained study Of the subject will be found, and in this regard I would specially mention the admirable Short H istory of the Royal N avy, by Mr David Hannay - two volumes which, in addition to their other and more conspicuous merits, contain a well-selected list of authorities to be consulted prefixed to each chapter. These references, which in truth cover the whole subject, will, I trust, better serve the purpose of the advanced or advancing student than any such Bibliography as I could compile on a scale commensurate with the form and purpose of the present Manual.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: NOTE: NO FURTHER DISCOUNT ON THIS PRINT PRODUCT-- OVERSTOCK SALE -- Significantly reduced list price Twenty essays selected from the writings of John B. Hattendorf, Ernest J. King Professor of Maritime History at the U.S. Naval War College, between 2001 and 2009. They represent a wide historical perspective that ranges across nearly four centuries of maritime history. A number of these pieces have been published previously but have appeared in other languages and in other countries, where they may not have come to the attention of an American naval reading audience. This collection is divided into parts that deal with four major themes: the broad field of maritime history; general naval history, with specific focus on the classical age of sail, from the mid-seventeenth century to the end of the Napoleonic Wars in 1815; the wide scope of American naval history from 1775 to the end of the twentieth century; and finally, the realm of naval theory and its relationship to naval historical studies. They are reprinted, with only minor alterations, as they originally appeared. This work may appeal to general history readers, scholarly and general adult readers of history especially naval and maritime, plus students pursuing coursework in military science degree programs.

The writer's chief aim has been to draw a plain and faithful narrative of the prominent events of his life. He believes, with Southey, that the best eulogy of a hero is the faithful history of his actions: and the best history must be that which shall relate them most perspicuously.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Sea Power by T 124 Nor were such sentiments by any means confined to Britain. In most of the maritime countries of the world, Mahan's interpretations of naval history excited lively interest and discussion, and called into being a body of supporters. But there was one European country in particular where the Mahan thesis was studied with specially close attention. To the military leaders Of Germany, the lessons pointed by Mahan seemed pregnant with meaning; and to no one more than their supreme head. The young Kaiser Wilhelm II was enthralled by the brilliant seascape that Mahan had painted. 'i am just now', he wrote, 'not reading but devouring Captain Mahan's book; and am trying to learn it by heart It is on board all my Ships and constantly quoted by my captains and officers.' He was already possessed of the world's most powerful army. But at sea Germany was weak; had always been weak. Compared to that of either Britain or France, the German fleet was insignificant. Neither Bismarck nor his predecessors had seen the need for naval strength. German land forces alone had sufficed to crush the Danes, the Austrians and the French in succession. But now that the unification of the German states into a German Empire was an accomplished fact. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Naval and Military Essays: Being Papers Read in the Naval and Military Section at the International Congress of Historical Studies, 1913 After the conclusion of the International Congress of Historical Studies in April last, in the scheme of which a Naval and Military Section was included for the first time, it seemed desirable to some members of the Committee in charge of the new Section that the papers read should be published in book form. The authorities of the Congress having decided in due course that they were unable themselves to make provision for such publication, it was suggested that the papers in question might appropriately be collected to form a volume in the Naval and Military Series which had recently been announced by the Cambridge University Press. The suggestion was readily accepted by the Editors of the Series and the Syndics of the Press. The present volume contains, in full text or in summary (where, for one reason or another, the full text was not obtainable, the papers on Naval and Military subjects read at the Congress.
