Summary "Great Britain's Sea Policy" by Gilbert Murray is a historical account written in the early 20th century, specifically during the World War I period. The book serves as a response to critiques surrounding Britain's naval policies, particularly against the backdrop of maritime law and wartime actions. It reflects on the interactions between Great Britain and other nations, especially the United States, as well as the complexities and challenges of maintaining a coherent sea policy amidst global conflict. In the book, Murray critiques Mr. Arthur Bullard's article in the "Atlantic Monthly", which accuses Britain of hypocrisy in its naval conduct during wartime. Murray defends Britain’s actions regarding the Declaration of London, arguing that it was never ratified and thus could not be violated. He discusses the necessity of maintaining naval superiority as an island nation while navigating the intricacies of international law regarding blockades and contraband during the war. Murray also tackles the moral implications of Britain's blockade policies and the harsh realities faced by neutrals, ultimately asserting that while Britain may stretch international law to suit its wartime needs, it is acting in alignment with the practices of many nations in similar circumstances.
