The Safeguard of the Sea: A Naval History of Britain: 660-1649Throughout the chronicle of Britain's history, one factor above all others has determined the fate of kings, the security of trade, and the integrity of the realm. Without its navy, Britain would have been a weakling among the nations of Europe, could never have built or maintained the empire, and in all likelihood would have been overrun by the armies of Napoleon and Hitler.

Throughout the chronicle of Britain's history, one factor above all others has determined the fate of kings, the security of trade, and the integrity of the realm. Without its navy, Britain would have been a weakling among the nations of Europe, could never have built or maintained the empire, and in all likelihood would have been overrun by the armies of Napoleon and Hitler. Now, for the first time in nearly a century, a prominent naval historian has undertaken a comprehensive account of the history and traditions of this most essential institution. N. A. M. Rodger has produced a superb work, combining scholarship with narrative, that demonstrates how the political and social history of Britain has been inextricably intertwined with the strength-or weakness-of her seapower. From the early military campaigns against the Vikings to the defeat of the great Spanish Armada in the reign of Elizabeth I, this volume touches on some of the most colorful characters in British history. It also provides fascinating details on naval construction, logistics, health, diet, and weaponry. "A splendid book. It combines impressively detailed research with breadth of perception.... Rodger] has prepared an admirable historical record that will be read and reread in the years ahead." Times London]"Binding Type: Paperback

CHEAPLY CONSTRUCTED SWEATBAND
Size: One Size, Color: Lime, Size: One Size, Color: Lime
The sweatband on the inside of the visor only goes up half way and is not sewn in on the top to secure it in place so it exposes the interfacing which is thin. On the other visors the sweatband goes all the way up and is sewn in. The sweatband material in the other visors is much cushier than this one. Lastly, the sweatband material makes my forehead itch.
Other than the construction and materials used in the sweatband, the visor is well made and the color is as pictured.

A good buy
Size: One Size, Color: Power Pink
First, love the color. It's very comfortable. I was concerned cuz I have a small head but very adjustable and it fits. It's breathable my head didn't get so hot like it normally does. I think I'll be ordering another in another color

Perfect Visor
Size: One Size, Color: (001) Black / Black / Reflective
I bought this thinking I wouldn’t like it. I was so wrong. This is lightweight and the perfect fit. What a great value. It’s so comfortable on your head and the vent on it was a great idea. Adjusts easily and just a great buy.

A great sport visor
Size: One Size, Color: (100) White / White / Reflective
My head is small so a lot of visors don’t fit because of the Velcro. This is perfect and the ability to wet it for coolness is great. Love it for tennis.
