Historical Dreadnoughts: Marder and Roskill: Writing and Fighting Naval History
This very thorough and eminently readable book is the story of the lives and interactions of the two great writers on twentieth century British naval history, the successors to the legendary Alfred T Mahan and Julian Corbett. A book about naval historians and their differing approaches to writing history might be dry and dull, but in the author's capable hands (as a Canadian, he is neutral in the dispute) makes a fascinating read. It is a naval book with a difference and one that cannot be too highly recommended for the bookshelf.  - Warship 2012
