Summary:
Keegan is an author whose books have revolutionized the writing of military history & deepened the understanding of conflict. In THE PRICE OF ADMIRALTY, he illuminates naval operations from Nelson's day to our own. He does this by dissecting four benchmark sea battles: Trafalgar, wooden ships of the line; Jutland, ironclads; Midway, aircraft carriers; & the Battle of the Atlantic, the perfection of submarines. He believes that "by looking at its past we may know the future of naval warfare."
