Reviews

With very broad appeal and many pertinent lessons, I would recommend this book to anyone with an interest in naval diplomacy, South America or British shipbuilding. I would actually go so far as to say that it should be recommended reading for every APT(S) CO, all Defence Attaches serving in South America and all naval officers appointed to UKTI. I would similarly hope that the libraries at both Dartmouth and Shrivenham will be stocked with ample copies. -- Jonathan Lett, Cdr RN * The Naval Review *
