The Fighting Admirals
An assessment of the Royal Navy's admirals who played a key role in bringing about Allied victory in World War II.
British Admirals of the Eighteenth Century
British Admirals of the Eighteenth Century (1972) examines the problems of eighteenth-century naval warfare, and differs in two important respects from orthodox opinions. It shows that the belief that the fighting instructions of the eighteenth century were Admiralty orders which cramped the initiative of admirals has been disproved by documentary evidence; and it argues that a study of the most important sea battles of the period indicates that the view that tactics at sea should always be based on principles which had been accepted as axiomatic in land warfare appears to have been misguided. The book examines the tactical problems which faced some of the greatest admirals of the time and analyses how they dealt with them.

The author makes liberal use of primary source material and quotes for the first time from letters and journal entries previously unknown to the public. Among those profiled are admirals who achieved their fame during keynote battles: the noble-born Lord Howe at the Glorious First of June, Lord Duncan at Camperdown, Sir John Duckworth at San Domingo, and Lord de Saumarez at Algeciras.
