This book illustrates the differences in character between Jacky Fisher and A.B. Cunningham. Fisher is remembered in the general view of his time for his impishness and gift for epigram. Cunningham, by contrast, is not so well remembered generally except by the senior citizens who remember the war. Cunningham is given greater prominence in this dual biography. The author was a Vice-President of the Navy Records Office, so has had the advantage of conversations with men who served on Cunningham's staff in the days of his greatness.
