Description:
Sir Edward Ashmore is one of the key figures in the history of the Royal Navy in the post-war period who rose to the highest rank in his chosen service, and who also became Chief of the Defence Staff. This autobiography gives a strong description of the life of a rising officer in the 1950s and '60s, and the preoccupations of high command in the 1970s, shedding much new light on many aspects of post-1945 naval policy, such as the controversy over CVA01, the crucial decision to procure the Sea Harrier, the lack of airborne early warning at the time of the Falklands War, and the Chevaline and Type 22 programmes. The Battle and the Breeze is potentially the most significant naval historical autobiography of the post-1945 period.
