John Jordan's naval-treaty histories

The closing recommendation points viewers to John Jordan's treaty books for a fuller and less cynical interpretation of the naval arms-control system.

Notes

The video closes by recommending John Jordan's books on the naval treaty system. They offer a guide to how the agreements worked and the choices behind them. Jordan's account is described as kinder and less cynical than the interpretation offered here. That difference places the counterfactual within a wider naval historiography rather than presenting it as a settled verdict.
