Before the two world wars, Churchill was deeply concerned by the
threats that faced Great Britain in the international arena. This
volume examines Churchill's views about the rise of German and
Japanese power, and how the growing armed strength of these two
countries undermined the security of Britain and its empire.
In addition, new technologies were transforming the international
and strategic environment, not always to Britain's advantage. The
growing importance of air power in modern warfare, for example,
posed the grave danger of direct attacks by bombers on the British
home isles. The authors also offer new appraisals of the foreign
policy and strategic prescriptions advocated by Churchill.
