Modern Naval Strategy first appeared in 1940 and received a revised second edition in 1941. Naval strategy was considered important enough to publish and revisit during the war itself. The book also returned to the older argument over oil and coal, showing that an established controversy still needed an answer. Its publication dates place the argument within the strategic concerns of the Second World War.
