Admiral Lord West’s history of the Royal Navy since 1900. Lord West tells the story of Britain and the Royal Navy in the turbulent twentieth century. Taking in political, social and technological developments, Lord West traces the many ways in which the Royal Navy was influenced by, and influenced, wider historical currents – from the place of women in society to Middle Eastern oil.

Lord West of Spithead of Spithead was Captain of HMS Ardent which was sunk in the Falklands War. Interesting facts come out in these broadcasts (eg Malta was being offered full integration into the UK in the early 1960's). IMHO opinion West is a bit of a turncoat of a naval officer being made a peer by Bottler Brown and he sits on the Liebor benches.
