STEPHEN WENTWORTH ROSKILL, a retired Royal Navy captain, is best known as the author of the official History of the Second World. The War at Sea, first published in four parts between 1954 and 1961. He went on to become one of the most prominent naval historians of the time, producing numerous significant works, including Churchill and the Admirals, and major biographies of Lord Hankey and Admiral Beatty. However, the two volumes of Naval Policy Between the Wars (1968 and 1976) stand out as particularly important contributions that remain essential reading to any student of the inter-war years.
