Reviews
...This beautifully produced book is a major addition to our understanding of early modern navies, and naval development. In combination with the work of Jan Glete, David Goodman and Alan James, Bellamy has brought the study of the era to a new level, and integrated the results into wider academic debates about the development of the modern state. Andrew Lambert, International Journal of Naval History, Vol. 6, No. 2, August 2007 ...This is an excellent book that fills many historical gaps. It is intelligently conceived and technically very strong. It is essential reading for specialists in early modern navies, but it is valuable to anyone with an historical interest of any sort in this period. Crucially, it is well-written and accessible with plenty of contextual material and historical background to aid the uninitiated reader, as well as being handsomely illustrated and impressively detailed... Alan James, Journal for Maritime Research, January 2008 ...Martin Bellamy's is precisely a political and administrative history, concerned with the place of the navy in Danish political and constitutional development, and with the effects of Danish seapower on northern Europe in the age of the Thirty Years War. He is particularly strong on naval administration, and on the development of the navy's base at Copenhagen, which Christian IV made into the most complete and well-equipped naval yard in the world... In most respects this important book is a success. It is well produced and excellently illustrated... N.A.M. Rodger, EHR, cxxiii. 501, April 2008 Christian IV and his Navy is a boon to naval history. Thanks to Martin Bellamy's assiduous efforts, we know much more about Denmark's early-modern navy and its influence on Danish politics at the time. This is indeed a positive achievement. Naval historians can use Bellamy's research to greatly enhance our understanding of early-modern European naval development . Virginia W.
