A Tale of Two Navies is an analysis of the unique relationship between the United States Navy and the Royal Navy from 1960 to present. This loosely chronological study examines the histories, strategies, operations, technology, and intelligence activities of both navies. The special intelligence relationship is highlighted by unique knowledge and insights into the workings of U.S. and British intelligence.

Bringing his extensive experience in both navies to bear, Anthony Wells provides a revealing look at the importance of naval thinking -- how it impacts not only every level of naval activity, but also national defense as a whole. A Tale of Two Navies probes selective key themes and offers a discourse between the author and readers. Throughout, Wells challenges his reader to consider how the U.S. and the U.K. can best collaborate to advance their common strategic interests. This insightful look at the "special relationship" is especially relevant given emerging and increasing threats from China, Russia, and radical Islamist terror organizations.

Anthony Wells is currently a visiting senior research fellow at the Center for Intelligence and Cyber Security, King's College, London. He is the only living person to have worked for British intelligence and served in the Royal Navy as a British citizen and to also have worked for U.S. intelligence and the U.S. Navy as a citizen of the United States.
