To Rule the Waves by Arthur Herman

To Rule the Waves by Arthur Herman

To Rule the Waves tells the extraordinary story of how the British Royal Navy allowed one nation to rise to a level of power unprecedented in history. From the navy's beginnings under Henry VIII to the age of computer warfare and special ops, historian Arthur Herman tells the spellbinding tale of great battles at sea, heroic sailors, violent conflict, and personal tragedy -- of the way one mighty institution forged a nation, an empire, and a new world.

This P.S. edition features an extra 16 pages of insights into the book, including author interviews, recommended reading, and more.

How the Scots Created the Modern World, as well as The Concept of Decline in Western History and Joseph McCarthy, are all written by Arthur Herman. He taught history at Georgetown University, Catholic University, George Mason University, and the University of the South, among other institutions.
