?Although Iron Admirals has some useful analysis of the evolution
of naval warfare from the late-nineteenth through the mid-twentieth
centuries, it is a sadly limited work. Focused on the lives and
wars of Togo, Jellicoe, Halsey, and Spruance, the book overlooks a
host of other naval commanders, who, while perhaps not war winners,
were certainly vital to the development of war at sea in the
period, such as Fisher, Doenitz, Yamamoto, Cunningham, and so
forth.?-NYMAS Review
