Seekriege und Seekriegswesen, Zweiter Band / in ihrer weltgeschichtlichen Entwicklung. Mit besonderer Berücksichtigung der grossen Seekriege des XVII. and XVIII. Jahrhunderts.

A systematic history of naval warfare from 1739 to 1793, examining major sea and colonial conflicts of the period. It traces technological and tactical developments, including larger ships of the line, emergence of frigates, coppering, changes in armament, and advances in navigation. Organization and personnel are compared across navies, with attention to admiralty institutions, officer promotion, life aboard ship, and uniforms. Detailed campaign narratives cover Atlantic, European, and colonial theaters, naval engagements, commerce raiding, and the interplay between sea power and land warfare. Extensive source criticism, portraits and illustrations support the analysis, while secondary or peripheral conflicts receive concise treatment.
