Description du livre Softcover. Etat : new. Illustrated. Winston Churchill had a longer and closer relationship with the Royal Navy than any British statesman in modern times but his record as a naval strategist and custodian of the nations sea power has been mired in controversy since the illfated Dardanelles campaign in 1915 Today Churchill is regarded by many as an inept strategist who interfered in naval operations and often overrode his professional advisers with inevitably disastrous resultsChurchill and Seapower is the first major study of Winston Churchills record as a naval strategist and his impact as the most prominent guardian of Britains sea power in the modern era Based on extensive archival research the book debunks many popular and wellentrenched myths surrounding controversial episodes in both World Wars including the Dardanelles disaster the Norwegian Campaign the Battle of the Atlantic and the devastating loss of the Prince of Wales and Repulse in 1941 It shows that many common criticisms of Churchill have been exaggerated but also that some of his mistakes have been largely overlooked such as his willingness to prolong the Battle of the Atlantic in order to concentrate resources on the bombing campaign against Nazi GermanyThe book also examines Churchills evolution as a maritime strategist over the course of his career and documents his critical part in managing Britains naval decline during the first half of the twentieth century Churchills genuine affection for the Royal Navy has often distracted attention from the fact that his views on sea power were pragmatic and unsentimental For as Christopher M Bell shows in a period dominated by declining resources global threats and rapid technological change it was increasingly air rather than sea power that Churchill looked to as the foundation of Britains security.
