The Royal Navy's Home Fleet in World War II (Studies in Military & Strategic History) ReviewWell, this is the author, and after waiting two years for someone to chime in on my book, I'll tell you what I think. First, despite earlier efforts to correct this, I'm not a lecturer at Kings College, London. Professor Philpott, who edited this series, is alive and well and teaching there. I'm at Hofstra University on Long Island and teach in the School for University Studies and the History Department. Second, the book is a rather good look at the operations of the Home Fleet from the perspective of its four Commanders-in-Chief: Charles Forbes, Jack Tovey, Bruce Fraser, and Henry Moore. It is moderately hostile to Winston Churchill, who has a puffed up reputation as something of a brilliant strategist--he was not, but liked to pretend he was. This "former naval person" was no such thing; he was a cavalry subaltern and never really stopped thinking like one. So, if you like ships and naval battles, and are agnostic about Churchill, you should enjoy this solid little book.The Royal Navy's Home Fleet in World War II (Studies in Military & Strategic History) Overview
