ASPINALL-OGLANDER, Cecil. Roger Keyes: Being the Biography of Admiral of the Fleet Lord Keyes of Zeebrugge and Dover, GCB, KCVO, CMG, DSO. xv, 478p., illus., index. London: Hogarth, 1951.

Keyes returned to the Navy in 1940 and after liaison work in Belgium created the new Combined Operations Directorate. He was relieved of this command in 1941 as a result of political disagreements and resumed his seat in Parliament. He later received a peerage before his death in 1945. A rather uncritical account of a major figure.
