New Documentary Series Tells the Story of Global Supremacy

Janson Media today announced the release of the five-hour documentary series, SEAPOWER TO SUPERPOWER. England"s Royal Navy preserved its empire and gave it military dominance of the world for more than 350 years. In the 20th century that dominance would pass from Britain to America and eventually, from sea to space. The English language owes its success as the world language to this fundamental military reality — whoever controls the great commons of the sea and space dominates the world. SEAPOWER TO SUPERPOWER explores the relationship between military power, technology, commercial realities, and the will of a nation and a people to excel. Historian Mark Milner and Yale University professor Paul Kennedy are our guides in this remarkable series. SEAPOWER TO SUPERPOWER was produced by Robert Linnell Productions (of London) and Norflicks Productions (of Toronto), for History Television Canada. The 5 x 48&'² series is available exclusively from Janson Media for worldwide television, VOD and IPTV licensing, and as a 2-disc DVD set in the United States and other selected territories.
