For Nearly Two Hundred Years Huge Wooden Warships Called "Ships Of The Line" Dominated War At Sea And Were Thus Instrumental In The European Struggle For Power And The Spread Of Imperialism.

Jonathan R. Dull Is The Author Of Two Award-Winning Histories Of The French Navy. Bringing To Bear Years Of Study Of War And Diplomacy, His Book Conveys The Fine Details And The High Drama Of The Age Of Grand And Decisive Naval Conflict.

Viewing War As Most Statesmen Of The Time Saw It-As A Contest Of Endurance-He Also Treats The Tragic Side Of The Franco-British Wars, Which Shattered The Greater Security And Prosperity The Two Powers Enjoyed During Their Brief Period As Allies.
