Overview
“To appreciate fully the quality and sophistication of Bell’s analysis, one must read the book for oneself. . . . It is clearly written, and even those who are primarily intersted in the U.S. Navy will find it accessible and useful for comparison with the American experience during this era. Those interested in the Royal Navy will find Bell’s study indispensable.”—Naval War College ReviesSynopsis
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. It challenges the accepted view that the shortcomings of Britain’s naval leaders resulted in poor strategic planning and an inability to meet the challenges of World War II.
