{"product_id":"9781108024693","title":"The British Navy : Its Strength, Resources, and Administration (Cambridge Library Collection - Naval and Military History)","description":"\u003cp\u003eSir Thomas Brassey (1836–1918), later Earl Brassey, was a politician with a particular interest in maritime affairs. He was a keen sailor, and his wife's accounts of their many voyages (also reissued in this series) were bestsellers. He subsequently became a Lord of the Admiralty and Lord Warden of the Cinque Ports, and Brassey's Naval Annual was for many years the authoritative survey of worldwide navies. This five-volume survey of the state of the British Navy was published between 1882 and 1883. Brassey was much involved with questions of the modernisation and reform of the Navy, at a time when international relations were marked by a maritime arms race. The books provide much technical detail about the different types of ship and weapons available to the Navy. Volume 5 (originally published in 1877 as British Seamen) discusses the merchant navy and the training of seamen.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Cambridge University Press","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":52300148048183,"sku":"00000_00000_00000_00000","price":297.99,"currency_code":"MYR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0962\/3548\/7543\/files\/9781108024693-1.jpg?v=1783151373","url":"https:\/\/kinokuniya.com.my\/products\/9781108024693","provider":"Books Kinokuniya Malaysia","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
