Why write another history of Q-ships?

Might you write a book about Q-ships?

Possibly. A new study could examine Q-ship strategy and employment alongside material that has emerged since the existing specialist history.

Alex Clarke is open to writing about Q-ships because he sees room for a fuller account of their strategy and employment. He acknowledges a comprehensive existing ship history after a viewer names it. His reservation concerns how fully that book explains the decisions behind the vessels and the way they were used. He also believes further material has emerged since its publication. His proposed approach would connect technical detail with the wider circumstances that shaped Q-ship operations.
