Editorial Reviews

"the authors of this fascinating book have ensured ... that no portrait of Stalin lacking the element of his naval ambitions can be described as adequate" - Times Literary Supplement

"This is an essential work for the educated naval historian who knows his Soviet history." - Ships Telegraph

'This book is essential to understanding a phenomenon - Soviet naval expansion post-1945 - which increasingly distorted British naval policy prior to 1982 and from whose shadow we weren't wholly free even after the collapse of the USSR.'

Mark Brady, The Naval Review
