Winston Churchill enjoyed two stints as First Lord of the Admiralty, at the start of the First World War and at the start of the Second. He retained close interest in naval matters, especially as the defeat of the U-boat menace was so vital in both wars to maintain the vital supplies so necessary for Britain's war efforts. Indeed, Churchill later said that this was the only thing that had threatened the ultimate Allied victory.

Roger Keyes was the archetype of 19th to 20th century Royal Navy officers. A superb seaman, inspiring leader and fearless fighter he immediately caught the eye of senior figures in the naval establishment as well as the up and coming politician, Winston Churchill. The relationship between these two brave men survived disappointment, disagreement and eventually disillusion. Unlike some of his contemporaries Keyes was unable to make the transition from sailor to politician and was inclined to embarrass his friends and allies by his intemperate language and total lack of political acumen. Always eager to lead from the front and hurl himself at the enemy his mind set tended to be that of a junior officer trying to prove himself, not that of a senior Admiral.Trained in some of the last of Britain's sailing warships, Keyes served in submarines in the North Sea, destroyers in China and as a senior staff officer in the disastrous Gallipoli campaign. As commander of the Dover Patrol he planned and led the highly controversial Zeebrugge Raid and successfully combated U-boats passing along the English Channel. In World War II he begged to be given a combat command but, in spite of their close personal friendship, Churchill realised that he was too old to be suitable for a front line role and his undisguised contempt for many senior Naval and Airforce officers made him extremely unpopular in official circles.To his credit, Churchill did not let his personal friendship and admiration of Keyes blind him to his temperamental and intellectual limitations. Both men were big enough not to let professional conflict destroy mutual personal admiration and friendship.

How did Winston Churchill's role as First Lord of the Admiralty help him lead Britain to victory in the Second Word War? An impressive biography of Churchill's impact on the Royal Navy, perfect for readers of Andrew Roberts, Max Hastings, Craig L. Symonds and Andrew Lambert. Sir Winston Churchill took a more active part in the day-to-day running of the war at sea than any First Lord in history. But how did this professional army officer's affiliation with the service come about? What impact did he have on shaping the Royal Navy, and what is his lasting legacy on naval operations today? When, in 1911, Winston Churchill became First Lord of the Admiralty for the first time, he concentrated his vast energies and prolific imagination on a service which he knew needed reform. Over the next two and a half years he focused on naval preparation, visiting naval stations and dockyards, increasing the number of submarines and seaplanes, improving conditions on the lower deck, awarding higher pay to naval staff, and scrutinising expenditure. A man of action, Churchill studied and analysed each naval operation with great care - to the point of criticism from the Admiralty. He was intensely interested in technical invention, and his introduction of modern concepts of staff work, of discipline and social conditions, was both unique and effective; in 1939, during his second period in office as First Lord, he made certain that progress in all these fields continued. Drawing on a wealth of contemporary sources, including Churchill's own memoirs, Vice-Admiral Sir Peter Gretton's professional naval judgement offers a balanced picture of Churchill's long and intimate contact with the Royal Navy and is a fitting tribute to Sir Winston's dedication to the service to which he gave so much. Former Naval Person is a detailed and well-researched account of Churchill's involvement with the Royal Navy, it's problems and the difficulties he encountered in reform and reconstruction.

Soldier by instinct, sailor by fate... The relationship that defined a career – and saved a nation The Navy almost finished the career of Britain’s greatest wartime leader. As a young minister responsible for the senior service from 1911, Churchill ruffled feathers and gave scant regard for the feelings of the admirals. When disaster struck in the First World War, it was the navy that led to his political downfall. But when he returned to power after years in the wilderness, the Royal Navy welcomed him with the cry, ‘Winston is back!’ From that point onwards, the successful pursuit of the war at sea remained his primary consideration. Within a few days of his return to the Admiralty, Churchill received a friendly overture from President Roosevelt, and there began a steady communication and friendship between the self-styled ‘Former Naval Person’ and the President of the United States, their differences subordinated in the pursuit of one shared goal: winning the war. From a veteran naval historian comes the extraordinary and gripping story of Churchill’s stormy association with the navy and the sea, perfect for readers of Richard Overy and Jonathan Dimbleby.

Dudley Pound served for longer on the Chiefs of Staff Committee in wartime than any other serviceman in either of the two World Wars. He was the professional head of the Royal Navy from July 1939 until his resignation, shortly before his death, in August 1943. He had to cope with the problems of Hitler by day and Churchill by night, of trying to make the old ships of the Royal Navy face the challenge of the modern navies of Germany, Italy and Japan.Pound had to run the operational HQ of the Admiralty while also chairing the Chiefs of Staff Committee. As such he was involved in some of the most controversial decisions in the Naval War in Norway 1940, the sinking of the French Fleet, the despatch of The Prince of Wales and Repulse to Singapore, the scattering of convoy PQ17 while, all the while, courageously fighting failing health and enduring huge strain.However by the time of his death the Battle of the Atlantic had been won and the Mediterranean cleared. Churchill's Anchor aims to put Dudley Pound's achievements into context.He held a succession of key commands from a battleship at Jutland to the Mediterranean fleet for four years, alternating with key appointments at the Admiralty. He was at the centre of naval affairs from 1914 until his death in 1943.
