"Trask reminds us naval power was crucial to the Allies' victory and that its successful use involved every bit as intricate and sometimes acrimonious a balancing of conflicting views on wartime strategies and postwar political goals as did the military effort. Trask's major concern is the Anglo-American naval partnership and particularly the campaign in the North Atlantic. British and American leaders were deeply suspicious of each other's postwar naval and maritime intentions, but for the most part they worked harmoniously during the war. If they sometimes differed on the application of detail, they did agree on the basic wartime strategy of concentrating superior military force on the western front in France while maintaining an effective naval blockade of the Central Powers and neutralizing Germany's deadly submarine counter-blockade. By mid-1918 there was no question about the success of the Anglo-American containment of the German Imperial Navy. Another and perhaps more important reason for the successful close Anglo-American naval cooperation during the war was the commander of the U.S. naval forces in Europe, Admiral William S. Sims, who was an unabashed anglophile. Sims is a central figure in this study."
