Far-Flung Lines

Studies in Imperial Defence in Honour of Donald MacKenzie Schurman
Herausgeber: Kennedy, Greg; Neilson, Keith

• Broschiertes Buch

Produktbeschreibung

These studies show how the British Empire used its maritime supremacy to construct and maintain a worldwide defence for its imperial interests. They rebut the idea that British defence policy in the late 19th and early 20th centuries was primarily concerned with the balance of power in Europe.
