The development of mine warfare represented a unique mix of challenges and opportunities for Britain in the years before the First World War. The mine represented the antithesis of British maritime culture in material form, and attempts were made to limit its use under international law. At the same time, mine warfare offered the Royal Navy a solution to its most difficult strategic problem. Richard Dunley explores the contested position occupied by the mine in the attitudes of British policy makers, and in doing so sheds new light on the overlapping worlds of culture, strategy and international law. . 606 $aGreat Britain$xHistory 606 $aMilitary history 606 $aEurope$xHistory$x1492- 606 $aLaw$xHistory 606 $aHistory, Modern 606 $aHistory of Britain and Ireland 606 $aMilitary History 606 $aHistory of Modern Europe 606 $aLegal History 606 $aModern History 615 0$aGreat Britain$xHistory. 615 0$aMilitary history. 615 0$aEurope$xHistory$x1492-. 615 0$aLaw$xHistory. 615 0$aHistory, Modern. 615 14$aHistory of Britain and Ireland. 615 24$aMilitary History. 615 24$aHistory of Modern Europe. 615 24$aLegal History. 615 24$aModern History. 676 $a941 700 $aDunley$b Richard$4aut$4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/aut$01060712 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910299806703321 996 $aBritain and the Mine, 1900-1915$94328055 997 $aUNINA
