Churchill and the Admirals

The classic history about Winston Churchill’s role as a strategist in both World Wars and his misuse of sea power. “A massively thought-provoking book. . . . Roskill’s book gives us an excellent and authoritative insight into Churchill as a leader, and serves as an excellent antidote to the modern tendency to worship him blindly. . . . Roskill has a highbrow but entirely readable style, and despite all the criticisms in this book, retains a shrewd loyalty towards W.S.C.” — Army Rumour Service Wi
