The Safeguard of the Sea: A Naval History of Britain: 660-1649Throughout the chronicle of Britain's history, one factor above all others has determined the fate of kings, the security of trade, and the integrity of the realm. Without its navy, Britain would have been a weakling among the nations of Europe, could never have built or maintained the empire, and in all likelihood would have been overrun by the armies of Napoleon and Hitler.

Throughout the chronicle of Britain's history, one factor above all others has determined the fate of kings, the security of trade, and the integrity of the realm. Without its navy, Britain would have been a weakling among the nations of Europe, could never have built or maintained the empire, and in all likelihood would have been overrun by the armies of Napoleon and Hitler. Now, for the first time in nearly a century, a prominent naval historian has undertaken a comprehensive account of the history and traditions of this most essential institution. N. A. M. Rodger has produced a superb work, combining scholarship with narrative, that demonstrates how the political and social history of Britain has been inextricably intertwined with the strength-or weakness-of her seapower. From the early military campaigns against the Vikings to the defeat of the great Spanish Armada in the reign of Elizabeth I, this volume touches on some of the most colorful characters in British history. It also provides fascinating details on naval construction, logistics, health, diet, and weaponry. "A splendid book. It combines impressively detailed research with breadth of perception.... Rodger] has prepared an admirable historical record that will be read and reread in the years ahead." Times London]"Binding Type: Paperback

Nice bright light

Purchased for a gift. They arrived on time and packaged well. Installation was easy and the lights are very bright. They seem to be made well and stay on most of the night. Would purchase again.

Nice solar lights
Color: Warm White (Cylinder), Size: 8 Pack
Each of the lights is well made. Installation was easy, adding them along a dark walkway took only a few minutes. I installed them in the morning and had charged enough to provide light to the area. Look very nice and a good value for the money. Happy with this purchase and would buy again.

Bright solar lights
Color: Cool White (Cylinder), Size: 6 Pack
Great look. Cool white lights are bright and lighten my dark walkway. My only con is that the solar panels on the flat top turned white after a few months from rain/water sitting on them. The lights continue to work well, despite the tops being 'milky' white.

Gama Sonic Solar Lights: Built to Last and Guaranteed
Number of Items: 2
These lights are nice and bright and stay on all night. I have other Gama Sonic solar lights also. One of them, which I didn't buy from Amazon, had a problem so I contacted Gama Sonic directly because they have a 2-year warranty. They responded immediately and I got it fixed and now I'm happy with it. I will keep buying their solar lights because they make good quality solar lights and have a 2-year warranty.
