Originally published in London, by A. Barker in 1975. First published in the US in 1976.   This fast-moving account of the birth of England and its conquest by William of Normandy spans an epic six centuries of almost uninterrupted conflict: the fight of the Saxon English, first for mastery and then for survival.   Richard Humble opens his story with the abandoned Christian province of Roman Britain beginnings its last battle against the forces of barbarism. We see King Arthur, stripped of myth and legend, stemming the tide of Saxon conquest for a whole generation before the inevitable collapse of the last Romano-British defenses. We see the emergence of the first Saxon English kingdoms---Kent, East Anglia, Northumbria, Wessex, Mercia----and their rise to such power and wealth that Offa of Mercia was able to treat on equal terms with Charlemagne himself. And we see their piecemeal destruction by the Viking raiders until only Wessex was left to become the foundation of a new England.   Contains 16 pages of black and white illustrations. Includes Index and Bibliography.

Sea power has had a profound effect on the history of the world through its influence in the rise and fall of nations. It is won and maintained by ships, by seamen, by the acceptance and use of the developing technology of the time and by prowess in battle, an amalgam of human courage and leadership. The despatch of the British task force to the Falklands as recently as 1982 served to highlight the continuing importance of conventional naval power even in this nuclear age. This is a book about naval warfare which deals with the significant campaigns of naval history, the decisive battles in those campaigns and includes biographical sketches of the principal naval leaders who directed and fought those battles. These are linked together with penetrating introductions to each new era of naval evolution, explaining the changes wrought in strategy and tactics by the development of new naval technology.
