Description: Wisdom and War : The Royal Naval College Greenwich 1873–1998, Paperback by Dickinson, Harry, ISBN 1138271756, ISBN-13 9781138271753, Like New Used, Free P&P in the UK Opened in 1873, in buildings constructed by Charles II to house retired sailors, the Royal Naval College was founded with the aim of providing officers with 'the highest possible scientific instruction in all branches of study bearing upon their profession'. Despite the College's undoubted contribution towards both the education of Royal Navy personnel and technical research more broadly, this is the first book to address the history of the institution from its Victorian roots to its closure in the aftermath of the Cold War. Both as a history of the Royal Naval College itself, and as an exploration of the Navy's attitude toward research and education, this book provides a fascinating insight into what is arguably one of Britain's most significant educational establishments.
