Command at Sea : Naval Command and Control since the Sixteenth Century PDF
by Michael A. Palmer
Description
In a grand history of naval warfare, Palmer observes five centuries of dramatic encounters under sail and steam, demonstrating that while abilities to communicate improved, other technologies simultaneously shrank admirals' windows of decision.
As a result, naval commanders have never had sufficient means or time to direct subordinates in battle.
