The Last Century of Sea Power: From Washington to Tokyo, 1922-1945 (Volume 2)
"The author, dean of naval historians, provides a sweeping look at, and analysis of, the transformation of naval power... [His] dry wit and sense of irony add spice to the impressive array of facts and analysis of the preatesst period of naval warfare. Wilmott is fearless in his judgments." —Seapower, December 2010"[T]his is an important contribution to naval history that provides a thoughtful account of the years preceding the Second World War and, at much greater length, of the war itself." —History, 2010"H. P. Willmott is the finest naval historian and among the finest historians of any discipline writing today. His latest work further strengthens that richly deserved accolade." —Bernard D. Cole, author of The Great Wall at Sea
