Paperback. Condición: New. Print on Demand. This book is a gripping exploration of the 'sister service' relationship between the Royal Navy and the British mercantile marine in World War One. Historian Rosslyn Wemyss argues that this relationship â" born of desperate wartime necessity, and characterised by gallantry and sacrifice from both services â" held the promise of continuing beyond the conflict. However, the book questions whether the government's post-war policies, reinstating mercantile marine autonomy at the expense of the Royal Navy's influence and support, were detrimental to both services. The book offers an important perspective on naval history and will fascinate anyone interested in the Royal Navy or the British merchant marine.
