The book explores British naval strategy from the 1880s, highlighting a tacit agreement to target enemy trade in the event of war with a major power. It emphasizes the belief that seapower relies on secure communications and argues that the Grand Fleet's main function during World War I was to support the Northern Blockade in disrupting German maritime trade, rather than focusing on traditional large-scale naval battles.
