Excerpt from Sea Power in the Next War
This series of volumes, in which different aspects are treated as far as possible in relation to each other, may help to form such a background.
Sea Power in the Next War is treated by Com mander Russell Grenfell who was recently on the teaching stafl~ of the Royal Naval College, Green wich. It was only last year that he published his first book, The Art of the Admiral, but it placed him immediately in the front rank of naval writers. The attention it attracted, both from the public and the experts, was the more remarkable because it was in no way sensational, making its impression simply by the clarity of the reasoning, and the Iucidity of the writing.
His present study of the wider problems of sea power has the same qualities. The balanced treatment of the subject as a whole gives, however, the more emphasis to his discussion of the risks that are being courted by the large ship policy, and to his proposals for the development of a destroyer fleet.
