The Royal Navy, Seapower and Strategy Between the Wars

by Christopher M. Bell

This is the first study to show how the Royal Navy's ideas about the meaning and application of seapower shaped its policies in the interwar period. Drawing on a wide range of unpublished sources, the author challenges the accepted view that the intellectual shortcomings of Britain's naval leaders resulted in poor strategic planning and an inability to meet the challenges of the Second World War.
