Contemporaries considered Edward III of England the wisest and shrewdest warrior in the world but he has not fared so well in the estimation of modern historians many of whom have argued that he was a fine tactician but a poor strategist This is despite the fact that by 1360 the English had become the foremost martial nation of Europe that famous victories had been won at Dupplin Moor Halidon Hill Crécy and Poitiers and David II of Scotland and Jean II of France were Edwards prisoners and the French with the Treaty of Brétigny had agreed to surrender a third of their kingdom to his sovereign rule in exchange for peace In War Cruel and Sharp Professor Rogers offers a powerfully argued and thoroughly researched reassessment of the military and political strategies which Edward III and the Black Prince employed to achieve this astounding result Using a narrative framework he makes the case that the Plantagenets ultimate success came from adapting the strategy which Robert Bruce had used to force the Shameful Peace on England in 1328 Unlike previous historians he argues that the quest for decisive battle underlay Edwards strategy in every campaign he undertook though the English also utilized sieges and ferocious devastation of the countryside to advance their war efforts CLIFFORD J ROGERS is Professor of History United States Military Academy West Point

Between the ending of the Great War and the start of the Second World War in 1939 the Royal Navy remained the largest in the world But with the League of Nations seeming to offer a solution to all future conflicts a country weary of war and without an obvious enemy there seemed no need for a large battlefleet The strategic focus shifted eastwards to Japan with its growing battlefleet as the new threat to the British Empire and to the Royal Navys supremacyFrom 1924 a strategic plan War Memorandum Eastern was written and refined The plan called for the Royal Navy still the largest in the world even after the Washington Naval Treaties to move eastwards to a defended base at Singapore cut off Japan and force her battlefleet into a decisive fleet battleAs a strategy War Memorandum Eastern had many flaws Its real importance lay in the fact that it provided a justification for the Royal Navy to maintain its leading position in the world and to be in the forefront of the development of new tactical thinking Through planning for a war with Japan the Royal Navy was able to test its readiness for a future war Many of the lessons learnt during this period were ultimately put to good use against a different foe in 1939
