A comprehensive account of the longest, largest, and most complex naval battle in history

In this operational history of a significant period for the Royal Navy, the author presents the story of the battles, blockades, great fleet cruises, and the failures and lost opportunities. He argues that the British government underestimated the American maritime strength.

From basic theory to development and implementation, this work presents current thinking about the phenomena of leadership with nearly 100 articles from leading figures and writers. The contributors include Rosabeth Moss Kanter, John Harvey Jones, Tom Peters, Peter Drucker and Charles Handy.

The Seven Years War was the most successful in British History, with naval supremacy triumphantly asserted over France and Spain, and a vast new overseas empire conquered. This book tells the story of the British shipping that carried, supplied and sustained the British expeditions that shattered French and Spanish imperial power in America.
