Andrew Cunningham's autobiography is a starting point for wartime naval command and the wider strategy around Churchill and other senior figures. Phillips Payson O'Brien's How the War Was Won supplies a broader strategic overview. A naval atlas of the Second World War with a foreword by Andrew Lambert adds the geographic framework. Together the books move from personal command experience to strategic argument and the maps needed to test it.
