Book excerpt: What would have happened if France was Britain's enemy rather than ally in World War One? In this remarkable work of alternative historical fictional, first published in 1891, an imagined naval war between Great Britain and France is documented from its origins through to "contemporary" consequences. Supposedly written in 1930 and reflecting upon the events of a non-specific range of years in the 1890s, the writer takes us through a historical narrative beginning with the global conditions that necessitate the outbreak of war. The imagined war is begun by the independent spirit of the Colonies, an affront to French national interests for which the British are reluctant to atone. War is declared by the French Ambassador shortly afterwards. In the second chapter, the author takes us through the various domestic attitudes of France and Britain, along with the reactions of the Press, which was at the time of writing a comparatively new aspect to the considerations of war. The preparations for war in both countries are also examined, and the inefficiency of peacetime Britain met with some derision by the author. The next few chapters deal with the detailed imaginings of Britain and France's fleets, their manoeuvers and deployment, leading up the conclusive battle in the sixth chapter. This, 'The Battle of Tenerife' sees both sides meet in a terrible and decisive battle. The rest of the book deals with the aftermath of the battle, and the conclusion of the war. Most interesting perhaps are the imagined political consequences of the war. The author writes of the 'National Federation to which we have grown accustomed to' and of the 'pax Anglo-Saxonica' which rules of the globe, but most importantly of the deserved supremacy of Britain's Naval power. The Last Great Naval War, is a well told and fascinating insight into a contemporary historical perspective and a curious re-imagining of a possible past. A. Nelson Seaforth was the pseudonym of UK soldier, colonial administrator and 1st Baron Sydenham of Combe, George Sydenham Clarke (1848-1933). He sat on the War Office reorganization committee in 1901 and was appointed governor of Victoria, Australia by Chamberlain, where critical of the influences of labour and democratic processes during his tenure. He was also appointed governor of Bombay in 1907, but was disturbed by continued unrest and became obsessed with law and order. Clarke never achieved the military or civil posts he coveted. As a professional military officer many of his ideas were ahead of his time, especially those on fortifications, submarines, camouflage and army reform, which proved remarkably prescient.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Often appropriately described as the "greatest naval battle in history," the battle of Leyte Gulf (23-26 October 1944) was actually a series of battles in which both sides exhibited courage and resourcefulness yet suffered from confusion born of poorly conceived command relationships and ineffective communications. Marked by awe-inspiring heroism, failed intelligence, brilliant deception, flawed strategy, effective tactical planning, great controversies, and a host of lessons learned, this gargantuan battle involved hundreds of ships, included nearly 200,000 participants, spanned more than 100,000 square miles, and resulted in the deaths of thousands of sailors from both sides. Every facet of naval warfare at the time was involved--air, surface, subsurface, amphibious, and--with the introduction of the kamikaze--a forerunner of guided missiles. It is clearly one of the great naval battles in history and has been the subject of countless books and articles in the 75 years since those massive fleets clashed in the Western Pacific. In his introduction, Cutler contends that there are five elements that make this battle unique and of continuing interest to historians, buffs, and strategists. These elements are explained, reinforced, and enhanced by a number of original essays and by special selections from the Naval Institute's impressive archive. The eleven essays by eminent historians take new looks at various aspects of this complex and ultimately decisive battle, providing fresh insight and offering different perspectives that will answer some old questions and likely pose new ones. This enlightening retrospective collection is further enhanced by a selection of articles culled from the rich archive of the Naval Institute's Proceedings and Naval History magazines that have long sustained the debates and the lessons learned from this important historical event. The result is an edifying and entertaining volume that will not likely be the last on this important subject but serves as an important contribution to this evergreen topic. ​

Book excerpt: By October, 1944, Japan's once-mighty naval power was almost extinguished. But in one last desperate bid, the Japanese gathered and combined their forces to defeat the Pacific Fleet of the United States Navy. With more ships engaged than there were even in the gargantuan World War I Battle of Jutland-and 200,000 men fighting on the sea and in the air- the Battle of Leyte Gulf was a hellish cacophony of cannon fire, murderous strafing airplanes, and deadly explosions. Here, in the words of the men who were there, are the dramatic accounts of what really happened at Leyte. Though often overshadowed by other Pacific War engagements, such as Midway or Guadalcanal, the Battle of Leyte Gulf was, and remains, the largest battle in the history of naval warfare.
