The book explores the Royal Navy's strategic response to the growing threat of the German navy during Hitler's regime, set against the backdrop of Britain's appeasement policy. It intertwines a narrative of diplomatic events and policy-making at Whitehall with an analysis of naval intelligence and war planning. By utilizing a diverse array of sources, the author presents a nuanced argument that the Admiralty's proactive approach to naval armaments diplomacy with Nazi Germany was more rational and intricate than previously acknowledged.
