Tempestuous Genius

The Life of Admiral of the Fleet Lord Fisher

No man ever made his mark on the British Navy the way that Lord Fisher did.

While many of his contemporaries considered his actions rash, he was unquestionably the greatest and most influential reforming admiral of all time. Battle fleets of long-range and high-speed ships, sound training schemes to forge the best officers, the withdrawal of obsolete ships and the rearrangement of the foreign fleets to best cope with external threats, and the revolutionary use of mines and torpedoes are just a few of the reforms that Fisher pushed through.

Tempestuous Genius provides a fascinating overview of the turbulent life and times of Admiral Lord Fisher.
