Churchill and Sea Power
"Bell's important study leaves the reader with a sense not just of Churchill's prowess as a naval strategist but of his wisdom as a grand strategist. In taking the long view of Churchill's career, Bell puts Churchill's views on sea power, whether operational or strategic, into a larger context. In the many positions he held, Churchill evaluated what the nation needed for its national security in a world of rapid geopolitical and technological changes, and he accepted that those needs went far beyond sea power." --Journal of British Studies
