Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Roger John Brownlow Keyes, first Baron Keyes (1872-1945). Keyes was a controversial man during his lifetime and has remained so ever since. His correspondence and papers is a vast collection held at Churchill College, Cambridge, and these volumes are just a selection of them. There has been renewed interest in the period since the publication of Professor Ranft''s The Beatty Papers (NRS Vols 128 & 132) in 1989 and 1993, and Professor Halpern followed these volumes with his Naval History of World War I in 1994. A full grasp of the participants and the controversies in Keyes''s early naval career (up to 1930) can only be obtained by starting with the 2 volumes of The Jellicoe Papers (NRS Vols 108 & 111) and Beatty Papers. Other relevant NRS volumes are The Cunningham Papers Vols I & II (NRS Vols 140 & 150) and the Somerville Papers (NRS Vol 134). Volume II, 1919-1939, starts with Keyes being offered the plum posting of command of the Battle Cruisers, which might have been tailor-made for him and was created a Baronet. The correspondence in this volume include much with other naval officers in other campaigns such as the Baltic. In 1921 he was Deputy Chief of Naval Staff to Beatty, the new First Sea Lord and a member of the Board of Admiralty for the first time. For 4 years he was involved with almost every major decision taken, and the papers reflect this. He was also deeply involved in the relationship between the Royal Navy and the Royal Air Force, in which he was to be bitterly disappointed. Keyes took over command of the Mediterranean Fleet in June 1925. The final episode in Keyes''s term in the Mediterranean concerns the (in)famous Royal Oak incident, which did not reflect well on Keyes and his handling of his fleet, nor too did his apparent obsession with polo, which fills the letters and papers. He retired having been disappointed not to succeed as First Sea Lord and he began to write his memoirs. Elected as the MP for Portsmouth North in February 1934 he again became involved in the debate over the Fleet Air Arm and the relationship between the Royal Navy and the Royal Air Force and worked hard on the Royal Navy''s behalf in House of Commons debates and this eventually resulted in the Royal Navy reclaiming control of the Fleet Air Arm in 1937. f the Battle Cruisers, which might have been tailor-made for him and was created a Baronet.

His correspondence and papers is a vast collection held at Churchill College, Cambridge, and these volumes are just a selection of them. There has been renewed interest in the period since the publication of Professor Ranft's The Beatty Papers (NRS Vols 128 & 132) in 1989 and 1993, and Professor Halpern followed these volumes with his Naval History of World War I in 1994. A full grasp of the participants and the controversies in Keyes's early naval career (up to 1930) can only be obtained by starting with the 2 volumes of The Jellicoe Papers (NRS Vols 108 & 111) and Beatty Papers. Other relevant NRS volumes are The Cunningham Papers Vols I & II (NRS Vols 140 & 150) and the Somerville Papers (NRS Vol 134). Volume I, 1914-1918 has a brief introduction which covers Keyes's life before World War I, culminating in his appointment as Commodore second class and head of the Submarine Service. He had achieved early promotion for services during the Boxer Rising and was thus one of the rising stars of the Royal Navy. He was present in the confused battle of Heligoland Bight in August 1914 and then Dogger Bank (December 1914). Keyes was appointed Chief of Staff to Rear-Admiral Carden and travelled to the Dardanelles in February 1915. It was in many ways the high point of his naval career as it was the only occasion in which he had the chance to influence the course of history. The controversy over Gallipoli still runs today and Keyes is an important figure in that controversy. His daily letters to his wife, which acted as a diary, are an essential source for any student of the campaign. In April 1917 he was promoted Rear-Admiral, and in June he took the position of Second-in-Command of the Fourth battle Squadron. He did not long remain in command as he was soon on his way to the Admiralty as Director of Plans. This was a new section of the Naval Staff, and was concerned with strategic planning. Keyes later took over command of the Dover Straits. The raid on Zeebrugge on 23rd April was undoubtedly one of the most dramatic events of the whole war, and appeared to be a qualified success. Certainly the public adored it, and Keyes was immediately created KCBE.

Book excerpt: The start of Volume III, 1939-1945, finds Keyes in a frustrating position. Too young for fleet command in the First World War, he was now too old for command in the Second World War. Keyes's temperament did not allow him to suffer in silence. His criticisms of the Naval Staff, and implicitly of the government reached another climax with his celebrated speech in the debate in the House of Commons in May 1940, which helped to bring down the Chamberlain government. On 17 July 1940 Keyes was appointed Director of Combined Operations, and he set to work to build up an organization. Immediately this organization was at odds with both the Royal Navy and the Army, as they were competing for the same supplies, equipment and manpower. He was treated with considerable suspicion, personally, by the 3 Chiefs of Staff, who knew all to well his close connection to Churchill, and most of his proposals were ruled out by various planning committees. In March 1941 the Commandos carried out a raid on the Lofoten Islands, and for much of the summer Keyes was involved in planning a raid on the Grand Canary Island or the Azores (Operation Pilgrim). This culminated in August in Exercise Leapfrog, designed as the dress rehearsal for the operation. The mistakes committed during this exercise led directly to Keyes dismissal as DCO and was eventually relived of his post by Churchill. For the second time in the war Keyes was out of a job, when he thought he ought to have been running the war. He continued to write to all his naval friends and spoke out against the conduct of the war in Parliament. Despite his criticisms of the direction of the war Churchill offered Keyes a peerage, which he accepted. He died on 26th December 1945. carried out a raid on the Lofoten Islands, and for much of the summer Keyes was involved in planning a raid on the Grand Canary Island or the Azores (Operation Pilgrim).
