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]"

Good and can be used in many dishes.
These are pretty good mussels they have not been smoked or anything added to it but mussels, water and salt. Since they are packed like that, you can use them in a variety of dishes. I would buy them again but only when they're on sale because they are pricey.

Simple ingredients, nice flavor
Flavor Name: Original Turkey, Size: 1 Ounce (Pack of 18)
Nice, simple ingredients. Very tasty. Amazon seriously needs to stop using fragranced packaging. It is highly toxic to both people and pets, and it ruins the product because the stink never comes out.

They're selling near-expired, bad product gone sour
Flavor Name: Original Turkey, Size: 1 Ounce (36 Count)
I ordered these in bulk for the second time in a few years. The initial order showed up as-presented. The recent order could not be farther than what these are advertised to be. At first, it appeared they changed their product. It looked different, I thought as I noted the soon-upcoming expiration date. After trying one, I quickly realized they did not only LOOK different but also tasted sour & dry. At best, they are not storing these correctly. But even worse, I suspect Country Archer may be selling bad product intentionally to get rid of it in bulk. Super disappointing from a company I once bought from regularly in local stores. And by the way, they do NOT stand behind their product. If you spend $60 on a bulk order that is inedible, YOU ARE STUCK WITH THEM. DON'T WASTE YOUR MONEY ON A COMPANY WITH NO RELIABILITY (sorry for all the angry caps lock but they really do need to resolve the issues presented in the many low-rated reviews, as any good business would do)
