NEW NAVAL SERIES. A new book by leading naval historians. The greatest battles of the sailing era IN COLOR. From the defeat of the Great Armada to Beachy Head, Minorca and Quiberon Bay (the only great sailing battle fought in a storm), from the Battle of Vyborg, the most effective in the 300-year history of the Russian fleet, and the battle at Cape Kaliakria , which became a new word in naval warfare, to Aboukir and Trafalgar - this book does not simply retell known facts, but provides an in-depth analysis of the development of naval art over two centuries, from boarding combat and “swarm tactics” to the triumph of artillery and battle fleets.
