"Records" by Admiral of the Fleet Lord Fisher is a historical account written in the early 20th century. The work primarily focuses on the author's naval career and various reflections on military strategy, particularly regarding British maritime power. It draws on a significant blend of personal anecdotes and observations, reflecting on both historical events and the evolution of naval warfare. The opening portion introduces the author's background and early years, setting the tone for the memoir. Fisher recounts his family history, including colorful anecdotes and notable ancestors, interspersed with humor and personal reflections. He discusses his entrance into the Navy, the challenges he faced as a young midshipman, and the rigorous training and conditions aboard ships at that time. Not only does this segment provide insight into Fisher's character and development, but it also paints a vivid picture of naval life during the mid-19th century, establishing a foundation for the broader themes of naval strategy and leadership that will unfold throughout the text.
