Empire of the Seas by Brian Lavery.
Published by Conway Maritime.  ISBN: 9791844861095

The book, produced to accompany a forthcoming major BBC television series, tells the story of how the Royal Navy expanded from a tiny force to become the most complex industrial enterprise on earth.

Gloriously illustrated with special photography taken during the filming of the series and numerous historic artworks and documents, the book explores themes such as the Navy's relationship with the State and the British people and the tactics and initiatives that created such decisive sea victories.

The four-part television series begins on BBC 2, 9 pm, Friday 15 January.
