Sir John Fisher's Naval Revolution by Nicholas Lambert

Sir John Fisher's Naval Revolution by Nicholas Lambert

This volume explores the intrigue and negotiations between the Admiralty and domestic politicians and social reformers before World War I. It also explains how Britain's naval leaders responded to non-military, cultural challenges under the direction of Adimiral Sir John Fisher.

This extraordinary book examines the radical and multi-faceted solution to the problem of British naval defense in the early 20th century devised by Admiral Sir John Fisher.. [Lambert's] study is based upon an intensive investigation of archival sources that surpasses all previous work on the Royal Navy in the steam era. - Proceedings ""This excellent book challenges most of the traditional interpretations of British naval policy in the period before the Great War... a masterful piece of historical dissection, beautifully structured and written with real elegance... this is quite a splendid book and one that it is hard to recommend too highly."" - Journal of Military History
