Sinopse

Naval Power Struggle explores the intense maritime rivalry between Britain and France from the late 18th to the early 19th centuries, a period crucial for understanding Britain's rise to global dominance. The book argues that British naval supremacy wasn't inevitable, but rather the result of continuous investment, tactical advancements, and a bit of luck in overcoming significant French maritime challenges. It challenges the notion of easy British dominance by showcasing the genuine threats posed by the French navy and the constant adaptations required to maintain superiority. This detailed exploration of naval warfare during the Age of Revolution provides valuable insights into the dynamics of power and the importance of sea power.

 
The book begins by examining the state of both navies before the revolution, detailing fleet sizes and ship designs. It then analyzes the strategic objectives of each nation, such as controlling trade routes and colonial possessions, and dissects pivotal naval battles like the Battle of the Nile and Trafalgar. Drawing from extensive archival research including naval records and ship logs, this study connects naval history to economics, political science, and sociology for a holistic view.

 
The culmination demonstrates how British naval power directly impacted France's continental defeat and Britain's subsequent global hegemony.

    Air Force Blue: The RAF in World...

    In 2018 the RAF is one hundred years old. In his new book, destined to be a classic, Patrick Bishop examines the high point of its existence – the Second World War, when the Air Force saved the nation from defeat then led the advance to victory.A SUNDAY TIMES BESTSELLER 
    Air warfare was a terrible novelty of the modern age, requiring a new military outlook. From the beginning, the RAF’s identity set it apart from the traditional services. It was innovative, flexible and comparatively meritocratic, advancing the quasi-revolutionary idea that competence was more important than background. 
    The Air Force went into the war with inadequate machines, training and tactics, and the early phase was littered with setbacks and debacles. Then, in the summer of 1940, in full view of the population, Fighter Command won one of the decisive battles of the struggle. Thereafter the RAF was gilded with an aura of success that never tarnished, going on to make a vital contribution to Allied victory in all theatres. 
    Drawing from diaries, letters, memoirs, and interviews, Air Force Blue captures the nature of combat in the skies over the corrugated wastes of the Atlantic, the sands of the Western Desert and the jungles of Burma. It also brings to life the intensely lived dramas, romances, friendships and fun that were as important a part of the experience as the fighting. 
    Air Force Blue portrays the spirit of the RAF – its heart and soul – during its finest hours. It is essential reading for the millions in Britain and the Commonwealth whose loved ones served, and for anyone who wants to understand the Second World War. 
    As a bestselling book by the Sunday Times bestselling author, Air Force Blue is a top choice for anyone interested in history, specifically that of II Germany and Europe. Patrick Bishop, the author, masterfully brings to life the spirit of the RAF during its finest hours. 
    For fans of Damien Lewis (SAS Daggers Drawn), Stuart Tootal (Tank Action), Antony Beevor (D-Day), David Blakeley (Pathfinder), and Giles Milton (Churchill's Ministry of Ungentlemanly Warfare).

    Painted People: Humanity in 21...

    In 1881, a writer in the Saturday Review called tattooing ‘an art without a history’. ‘No-one’, it went on, ‘has made it the business of his life to study the development of tattooing.’ Until now. 
    Painted People is a beguiling and intimate look at an untold history of humanity. 
    The earliest tattoos yet identified belonged to Ötzi, the ‘iceman’, whose mummy allows us a brief glimpse into the prehistory of the practice. We know that over the more than five thousand years since he was tattooed, countless cultures have performed this ancient practice, and people in every corner of the world have been tattooed. For the most part, these fascinating histories remain stubbornly untold, and the secrets of Siberian princesses, Chinese generals and Victorian socialites have been hidden on the skin, under layers of clothing and under layers of history. Now with access to a wealth of new and unreported material, this book will roll up its sleeves and reveal the artwork hidden beneath them. 
    In Painted People, Dr Matt Lodder, one of the world’s foremost experts on tattooing, tells the stories of people like Arnaq, who was tattooed in keeping with her cultural and religious traditions in sixteenth-century Canada, and Horace Ridler, who was tattooed as a means to make money in 1930s London. And in between these two extremes, he describes tattoos inked for love, for loyalty, for sedition and espionage and for self-expression, as well as tattoos inflicted on the unwilling, to ostracise. Taken together, these twenty-one tattoos paint a portrait of humanity as both artist and canvas. 
    Lodder's Painted People is a top-tier exploration of body art, blending science and design in a unique anthropological study. His criticism of popular views on tattooing offers a fresh perspective on this ancient practise. 
    For fans of Nick Schonberger (The Language of Tattoos), John Miller (The Philosophy of Tattoos), Trent Aitken-Smith (The Tattoo Dictionary), Caroline Vout (Exposed), and Yori Moriarty (Japanese Tattoos).
