'Redford and Grove deserve praise for producing this thoroughly researched, superbly written and handsomely illustrated account of the Royal Navy since 1900.' Joe Maiolo, author of Cry Havoc: How the Arms Race Drove the World to War 1931-1941 'The role in Britain's history of the Royal Navy is all too easily and too often over-looked; this series will go a long way to redressing the balance. Anyone with an interest in British history in general or the Royal Navy in particular will find this series an invaluable and enjoyable resource.' Tim Benbow, Defence Studies Department, King's College London
