In this book, Brian Lavery shows how, through reforms and the determined focus of a number of personalities, the navy was transformed in the middle years of the eighteenth century. The author explains how the amateurish, corrupt and complacent force of the previous decades was fundamentally overhauled, how it acuire uniforms and a definite rank structure for officers; and developed new ship types such as the 74 and the frigate. Large format. Green/brown cloth boards, gilt title to spine. B/w illustrations and a few colour. 208 pages including index. ISBN: 9781399002882.
