MADSEN, Chris. The Royal Navy and German Naval Disarmament 1942-1947. xx, 277, [3]p., bibliog., illus., index. London: Cass, 1998. ISBN: 0714643734.

An important revisionist work. It questions the assumption that Britain dragged its heels over German naval disarmament, already anticipating the Cold War. It claims that in fact the Royal Navy at least and senior individuals within it were focussed entirely on the complete dismantling of the Kriegsmarine and that the process was wholly successful. Ingenious stratagems were employed to achieve that end by any means.
