Hardcover. Zustand: Fine. 1st Edition. [1st ed., 1st printing] ; 283 p. front., plates. 24 cm. OCLC 7035687 LCCN 29011295 ; LC JX4425 .S75 1928a Dewey 341.57 ; black textured cloth with red label ; no dustjacket ; Joseph Montague Kenworthy, 10th Baron Strabolgi (7 March 1886 - 8 October 1953), was a Liberal and then a Labour Party Member of Parliament in the United Kingdom. Strabolgi was born at Leamington in Warwickshire and educated at the Eastman's Royal Naval Academy at Northward Park in Winchester and as a cadet on H.M.S. Britannia, joining the Royal Navy in 1901 and served for seventeen years. During World War I, he was in command of the destroyer HMS Bullfinch (1898) until October 1915, then served aboard the battleship HMS Commonwealth. He was assigned to the Operations and later, Plans Division of the Admiralty War Staff. He left for an appointment in the Mediterranean which enabled him to see the latest developments of war on seaborne commerce at close quarters. He returned to the Grand Fleet in time to be present at the final surrender of German sea power. He retired from the Navy in 1920 after entering Parliament. A reading of his service record and his memoirs suggest that he was a man who was neither easy to work with nor necessarily very competent. His memoirs are particularly unreliable.
