Description
No marks or inscriptions. A lovely clean very tight copy with bright unmarked boards and no bumping to corners. Dust jacket not price clipped or marked or torn or creased. 340pp. A fascinating account of how great seafaring nations have flourished, in war, trade, financial and constitutional, from the Dutch in the 17th century, the British in the 18th century and the USA in the 20th and how this has had such a profound effect on even the daily lives of the inhabitants of these nations.
