The Last Century of Sea Power, Volume 1: From Port Arthur to Chanak, 1894–1922

The Last Century of Sea Power, Volume 1 by H. P. Willmott examines the dramatic transformation of naval warfare from the Sino-Japanese War through the aftermath of the First World War. During this period, expanding empires, growing fleets, new technologies, and changing military doctrines reshaped the use of force at sea.

Willmott explores major naval conflicts, the rise of the dreadnought, advances in shipbuilding and armaments, and the strategic ideas that influenced the world’s leading maritime powers. Careful attention is given to important battles and to how their outcomes affected the future development of naval power.

Detailed and authoritative, this military history also includes valuable reference material, including a census of capital ships and a chronology of naval actions during World War I. It is an excellent choice for readers interested in naval history, military strategy, warships, and early twentieth-century warfare.
