Comments: An excellent comprehensive study of the Royal Navy's role in the Second World War. It suggests that Britain's supposed island seapower was actually a weakness in being dependent upon imported food, raw materials and American technology. He criticises the decision not to divert long-range aircraft from the indecisive bombing of German cities to the Atlantic battles. Interesting reading?. First Edition. Hard Cover.
