In light of the 100th anniversary of the First World War, John H. Maurer examines how Winston Churchill, as First Lord of the Admiralty, transformed the Royal Navy and provided for Britain’s security against the rising German naval challenge in the Great War, and why Churchill’s coinciding efforts to avert war with Germany were ultimately unsuccessful.

John H. Maurer teaches at the Naval War College in Newport, RI, and is the author or editor of several books examining the outbreak of the First World War and Winston Churchill’s views on British foreign policy and strategy.
