Founded in 1912 by some of the Royal Navys brightest officers the quarterly Naval Review has never been subject to official censorship & its naval members do not need official permission to write for it so it has always provided an independent lively & at times outspoken forum for service debate. In broad terms it has covered contemporary operations principles of naval warfare history & anecdotes which record the lighter side of naval life but sometimes with a bite to them. A correspondence section provides an important barometer of service opinion while extensive book reviews written by those with real knowledge of the subject carry considerable weight. For these reasons the Naval Review is widely regarded as a journal of record. In return for its freedom circulation is restricted to members & membership to serving or retired officers. However this volume will give the interested public an insight into its activities past & present. Intended both to celebrate & to analyse the impact of the journal over its 100-year history it comprises a series of specially commissioned articles divided chronologically & thematically devoted to subjects that have been of importance to the naval community as reflected in the pages of the journal. It concludes with an assessment of how well the Naval Review has succeeded in its founders aim & what influence it has had on policy. ...
