Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Imperial Defence and Closer Union: A Short a Short Record of the Life-Work of the Late Sir John Colombo, in Connection With the Movement Towards Imperial Organisation This book tells the story of a man whose political activities were devoted to a single end - Imperial Unity. Sir John Colomb convinced himself that the surest way to secure the union of the different parts of the Empire was to begin by concentrating on Imperial Defence. It can be truly said of him that he was a prescient man. It is not a little remarkable that long before Admiral Mahan wrote his book on the Influence of Sea Power, Sir John Colomb was preaching the doctrine of the immense strategical advantages of one Imperial Fleet; long before the creation of the Imperial General Staff, he was urging the dangers to this country - the island centre of so wide an Empire - of concentrating our efforts on passive land defence.
