{"product_id":"david-hannay-rodney-9789371817110","title":"Rodney","description":"Rodney explores the rise and career of a naval commander within the context maritime power. Drawing from a stable family heritage in Somersetshire, the narrative traces early influences and the beginning of naval service during a time when national dominance at sea was still uncertain. The book focuses on the shaping of ambition, discipline, and command within the structures of naval life rather than offering a straightforward biography. Early passages present the routines and demands of life at sea during peacetime, portraying it as a period of preparation rather than rest. Avoiding glorification, the story emphasizes a complex individual shaped by duty, endurance, and exposure to global conflict. The account examines how leadership emerges not only from heritage but through consistent decision-making under pressure. Personal achievements are placed within a broader imperial context, showing how military service at sea demanded resilience and adaptability. The work ultimately reflects on legacy, loyalty, and the cost of command during a formative era in naval history.","brand":"Double 9 Books","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":53796856922454,"sku":null,"price":0.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":false}],"url":"https:\/\/www.momoxbooks.com\/products\/david-hannay-rodney-9789371817110","provider":"momoxbooks","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
