- Synopsis
- Originally published in 1945, this book is a collection of biographies of seven officers of the Royal Navy that served during World War II, written by Commander Kenneth Edwards."As the war has progressed naval actions have become more and more integrated, more comprehensive and more obviously attuned to the overriding strategy. The isolated actions of a guerre de course have been yielding pride of place to gigantic and closely linked operations. One might draw the analogy of the Napoleonic Wars, in which the frigate actions gradually gave way to the movements of the great fleets which culminated in the Battle of Trafalgar. In such circumstances it is inevitable that the exploits of the individual, however important, gallant and picturesque, should become to a great extent merged in the record of the great commander."--Cmdr. Kenneth Edwards
