Professor Lambert is the doyen of present-day naval historians.
In this book he tells the story of an incomparably great strategist and historian, Julian Corbett, whose pre-war views on naval strategy were well constructed and sought by men such as Admiral Jacky Fisher, the founder of the modern navy.

From Steve's list on how the Royal Navy won the First World War.
