About this ebook
First published in 1968 and 1976, the two volumes of this work still constitute the only authoritative study of the broad geo-political, economic and strategic factors behind the inter-war development of the Royal Navy and, to a great extent, that of its principal rival, the United States Navy. Roskill conceived the work as a peacetime equivalent of the official naval histories, filling the gap between the First World War volumes and his own study of the Navy in the Second. As such it is marked by the extensive use of British and American sources, from which Roskill extracted shrewd and balanced conclusions that have stood the test of time.

- Rating: 3 out of 5 stars3/5This turns into the story of why the UK settled for building the King George V class of battleships, and the inception and reasons for the creation of the carriers with armoured flight decks that served the allies so well off Okinawa.
