NEW BOOK: MEDALLIC MEMORIALS OF ADMIRAL RODNEY

Skyler Liechty has published a new book on the medals of British Admiral George Brydges Rodney. Here's the announcement. -Editor

Medallic Memorials of Admiral Rodney book cover It is with great pleasure that we announce the publication of Medallic Memorials of George Brydges Rodney Admiral of the White. This book delves into the life and legacy of one of the most influential figures in British naval history as illustrated by the numerous medals issued to commemorate his naval achievements which are cataloged here for the first time.

Admiral Rodney was a major figure in the British Royal Navy during the 18th century. He was instrumental in securing several major victories for Britain during the American Revolution and the Anglo-French Wars. His bravery and leadership on the high seas earned him the admiration of the British people and a place in the annals of history. One of his most brilliant accomplishments was the employment of a naval strategy called breaking the line, which had been virtually unused in British naval warfare up to that point.

In this book, the reader will explore the medals and other commemorative items that were minted to celebrate Rodney's achievements. Through the examination of these rare and historic artifacts, a picture of Rodney's life and legacy begins to emerge. But this book is more than just the story of Admiral Rodney's life. It is a catalog of the medals that delve into the historical context of the times in which he lived. Many had been previously listed by various authors at different times here and there in some very scarce and hard to find books, but here is a compilation for the first time of all the medals commemorating the events of his life.
