From Zheng He’s route of conquest from Nanjing to the Persian Gulf, published around 1621, to charting Taiwanese naval manoeuvres in the South China Sea in 2017, Jeremy Black surveys the use of maps to document battles and the operational role of maps and charts in naval campaigns. Among the events and themes discussed and illustrated in full-page reproductions are Drake’s attack on Cadiz, the Battle of Copenhagen, U-Boat warfare in the Pacific, and the Cold War.
