Overall in very good condition. Privately printed. Admiral Sir Reginald Aylmer Ranfurly Plunkett-Ernle-Erle-Drax (to give him his full name), 1880-1967, wrote this booklet on his retirement from the Admiralty. "This work is dedicated to those soldiers, sailors, airmen and men of the Merchant Navy who, fighting with matchless courage and often against desperate odds, were foredoomed to die in the Second World War because ideas and opinions have changed while the principles of war have not." "A critis of much of British strategy, Drax privately printed in 1943 a book on The Art of War, which attacked many aspects of defence policy. Events have vindicated many of his views."
