Glete presents an intriguing argument that progress in maritime affairs in this period was uneven.... -John B. Hattendorf, United States Naval War College Readers are provided with succinct summaries of all important naval tactics, military strategies, and sea battles, changes in maritime technology, commercial structures and states, and the major historiographical debates.
