  2. Detailed work on economic warfare and its relationship in the power struggles, regarding roles between the Admiralty and War Office, is to be found in Avner Offer: The First World War: An Agrarian Interpretation (Oxford: Clarendon, 1989) chapters 15 to 21. However, I am far from convinced of Fisher’s commitment to economic warfare.

  4. Apart from the well known feuds with Lord Charles Beresford and Sir Frederick Charles Doveton Sturdee, many other officers were perturbed by Fisher’s behaviour. One example is shown in Chalmers: Life and Letters p.96
