[F]rom the very first pages, [the book] commands the reader's
attention.... This book is a history game-changer in putting the
Indian Ocean at the centre of Britain's war strategy as it evolved
from 1939 to 1942. It is well-written and well researched: there
are 85 pages of footnotes and the bibliography extends to 27 pages.
