War & StrategyBook note
The British Way of War
Description. A short description of a book from my bookshelf, not a review.
Lambert examines the strategic thought of Julian Corbett, the British naval historian who argued that Britain's power rested on a limited, maritime approach to war rather than on large continental armies.
The book is a study of Corbett and of the long debate in Britain about how a sea power should fight. It is valuable for anyone interested in maritime strategy and limited war, two themes that run through the papers on this site.
