"Great Britain's Sea Policy" by Gilbert Murray is a wartime commentary that answers criticisms of Britain's naval actions during World War I. It specifically responds to an American critic's accusations of British hypocrisy on the seas. Murray defends Britain’s naval strategies and the necessity of its sea control, against accusations of violating maritime law, particularly concerning the Declaration of London, which he points out, was never officially approved. He navigates the complexities of international law of blockades and contraband, and justifies actions taken by Britain as it faced the challenges of war.
