By Samuel Pepys
Introduced by J D Davies
From Baird Maritime:
Although he died more than three hundred years ago, Samuel Pepys is still by far the world's best-known naval administrator. For that matter, he is almost certainly also the world's best-known bureaucrat and political "spin doctor".
This fascinating little book was written after he lost his job in a massive change of government in 1688. It is unbelievably prescient. Any current senior defence bureaucrat or admiral who has not studied it should be dismissed immediately.
No matter what your nationality, most things naval remain the same. Pepys was a cynical and brilliant writer. Dr. Davies has done an excellent job of converting his wisdom to current idiom.
A masterpiece!
