520 1 |a "In purely naval terms, the period from the passing of the Naval Defence Act in 1889 to the building of HMS Dreadnought in 1906 is often referred to (and indeed passed over) as the 'pre-dreadnought era'. As such it is usually considered to be a distant precursor to the First World War and of relatively little importance; it has therefore received little consideration from historians , a gap which this book seeks to remedy by reviewing the late Victorian Navy from a radically new perspective." "This book overturns many assumptions about this era, particularly the perception that the pre-1889 Navy was weak, and clearly shows that the 1870s and early 1880s witnessed crucial technological developments that made the pre-dreadnought era and its successor dreadnought era possible."--BOOK JACKET.
