What reading level is Naval Warfare book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
In other words, command of the sea, if not absolutely and in all cases indispensable to a successful invasion, is at any rate the only certain way of ensuring its success.
Naval history from first to last is full of illustra- tions of the principles here expounded. I will examine one or two of them, and I must take my illustrations mainly from the naval history of Britain, first, because Britain, being an island, is the only country in Europe which cannot be invaded except across the sea, and s...econdly, because Britain for that very reason has often been subjected to attempts at invasion and has always frustrated them by denying to her adversary that sufficiency of sea control which, if history is any guide, is essential to successful invasion. But first I will examine two cases which might at first sight seem to militate against the principles I have enunciated. The brilliant campaign of Caesar which ended in the overthrow of Pompey and his cause at Pharsalus, was opened by Caesar's desperate venture of carrying his army across the Adriatic to the coast of Epirus, although Pompey 's fleet was in full command of the waters traversed.
