Mocné větry, slapové dmutí a proudy komplikovaly navigaci, diktovaly námořní strategii a znepříjemňovaly život rybářů a odvážlivců pokoušejících se přeplavat. I když se Anglický kanál na první pohled může zdát bezvýznamným ve srovnání se Středozemním nebo Baltickým mořem, jeho historický význam je nepopiratelný. Odděluje Británii od Evropy, brání invázím a vytváří hranici účinnější než tisíce kilometrů ostnatého drátu, zároveň slouží jako spojení kontinentu s ostrovem. Tisíce let pluly lodě oběma směry, přičemž na palubě byli pasažéři jako Vilém Dobyvatel či Francis Drake. Vůdci jako Julius Caesar, Napoleon a Hitler usilovali o kontrolu nad tímto úzkým pruhem moře, zatímco různé lodě se snažily zamezit jejich záměrům. Kniha sleduje příběh Lamanšského průlivu od doby před 9000 lety, kdy Británii s kontinentem spojoval most souše, až po 21. století s podmořským tunelem. Autor čerpá z různých originálních textů, jako je Anglosaská kronika či deníky vojáků z druhé světové války, aby zmapoval krajinu a vodstvo této brány Evropy k oceánům. Odhaluje tajemství politické a vojenské historie, která se zde odehrávala, a osudy jednotlivců ovlivněné průlivem.
