This book examines British naval policy during the mid-Victorian period, emphasising the political, economic, and foreign relations contexts within which naval policy was formulated.

Trade Review
“I cannot rate this book too highly. It is of the highest quality, combining accuracy with sustained analytical rigor. It will be welcomed by all naval historians as providing a reassessment of the 19th-century Royal Navy and a reconsideration of the basic issues of British diplomacy in that period. It will remain a standard work for years to come.”—Andrew Lambert, University of London
