In Defence of Naval Supremacy - Finance, Technology, and British Naval Policy, 1889-1914

Sumida presents a provocative and authoritative revisionist history of the origins, nature, and consequences of the Dreadnought Revolution of 1906. Based on intensive and extensive archival research, the book strives to explain vital financial and technical matters that enable readers to observe the complex interplay of fiscal, technical, strategic, and personal factors that shaped the course of British naval decision making during the critical quarter-century that preceded the outbreak of the First World War.
