Seapower States featuring Dr. Andrew Lambert - a podcast by Riley Callahan

Seapower states have been at the forefront of exploration, technology, and war as the pursuit of power has come through the Sea. In todays episode, we do a tour de France of Seapower states from Athens and Carthage to Venice and the British Empire. These states found ways to survive and fight against some of the worlds largest superpowers and lay the foundations for economic trade that still exists today. We also interview Dr. Andrew Lambert who is Laughton Professor of Naval History at Kings College in London. He is also a Fellow of the Royal Historical Society. Some of his work includes Franklin: Tragic Hero of Polar Navigation, The Challenge: Britain Against America in the Naval War of 1812 and Seapower States which was the winner of Gilder Lehrman Prize for Military History in 2018.
