From Zheng He’s route of conquest from Nanjing to the Persian Gulf, published around 1621, to charting Taiwanese naval manoeuvres in the South China Sea in 2017, Jeremy Black surveys the use of maps to document battles and the operational role of maps and charts in naval campaigns. Among the events and themes discussed and illustrated in full-page reproductions are Drake’s attack on Cadiz, the Battle of Copenhagen, U-Boat warfare in the Pacific, and the Cold War.
Naval operations and warfare were, and remain, a key element for mapping. Maps were vital for commanders in drawing up plans of attack, and their detail and usefulness have increased over the centuries as the science of mapping has developed.
This beautiful book examines stunning original maps from a series of key conflicts from the Spanish Armada, the American Wars of Independence, and the Napoleonic wars to twentieth century conflicts from the First World War to Vietnam, and explains how they were represented through mapping and how the maps produced helped naval commanders to plan their strategy.
