Julian Corbett (1854-1921) was appointed principal lecturer on history and strategy at the Naval War College at Greenwich in 1902. The Campaign of Trafalgar (1910) was considered his most significant work up to that point. In 1914, he was awarded the Chesney Gold Medal by the Royal United Services Institute. He was a strategic advisor to the Admiralty during the First World War, for which efforts he was knighted in 1917. His works remain an important feature of maritime study.
In 1910, the revered maritime strategist Sir Julian Stafford Corbett published The Campaign of Trafalgar, with the intent of providing the first ‘staff account’ of the celebrated battle. Beautifully written, and possessed of the historian’s classical precision, Corbett examines the underlying reasoning, both diplomatic and military, that wrought the framework of these famous endeavours.
Corbett examines the various relations of the events of the campaign, from Nelson’s remarkable chase of Admiral de Villeneuve, to Bonaparte’s seemingly reckless unreadiness, and accords them their true place in an over-arching strategy. The intricacies of Pitt’s negotiations are evaluated in the context of England’s most real fears and ambitions, while Corbett considers the delicate balance of England and her allies’ territorial arrangements in the clear light of their colonial concerns.
Crucially, and controversially, The Campaign of Trafalgar puts forward the theory that the campaign’s real importance lay, not so much in preventing an invasion of Britain, but in gaining control of the Mediterranean Seas; to render Britain impregnable was, however, heroism’s just reward.
“亚马孙”号巡洋舰给纳尔逊带来了惊悚的消息:十天前,那支在他眼皮下失踪的法国舰队已经与西班牙舰队会师、驶向外海。现在,它可能正在去往爱尔兰、甚至伦敦登陆的途中。即使纳尔逊舰队火速回师英国,他们看到的可能是已经被拿破仑占领的伦敦,或者乐观一点,是英国军事法庭...

评分【摘要】朱利安·科贝特是现代海军史学上的集大成者。在劳顿和马汉奠定的基础上,他以批判运用多国档案史料的现代史学研究方法,在国家与更广阔的国际关系背景中研究海军历史,首次真正实践了大规模的现代海军史研究。他出版的七部史著为现代海军史研究树立起极高的学术标准,...
评分朱利安·科贝特著、陈骆译的《特拉法尔加战役》,是一部描写风帆火炮时代海战的经典著作,可惜此书内容与今天中国读者的知识背景有较大差距,导致很多人不太能理解,自然难以欣赏其睿智——这包括书中主人公们的运筹或者勇武,也包括科贝特在展现这段历史上所用的功力。 中国的...
