Summary
C.I. Hamilton traces the technological development of the British and French navies and analyzes the political and diplomatic policies which formed the backdrop to the naval history of the period 1840-1870. Hamilton compares the two navies in a variety of important ways: their recruitment and training systems, dockyard facilities, naval administrations, and strategy and tactics. This book makes a noteworthy contribution both to naval history and to our knowledge of Anglo-French relations in the nineteenth century.
