Sommario/riassunto

This is an account of the efforts made by the Royal Navy to prepare for war with Germany more than a decade before 1914. Seligmann demonstrates that from being unready for an assault on British seaborne trade, the Royal Navy had given a great deal of thought to its



protection.
