This is an extensively researched and thorough history of the British and French navies in the mid-nineteenth century, and the rivalry at sea between the two countries. C.I. Hamilton traces both the technological development and the political decision-making of this period, and compares the two navies in a variety of important ways: their recruitment and training systems, dockyard facilities, the naval administrations of the two countries, strategy and tactics.
