| 520 | _a"The Fleets Behind the Fleet" by W. MacNeile Dixon is a historical account written in the early 20th century. The work emphasizes the crucial role that merchant seamen and fishermen played during wartime, particularly in the context of Britain's maritime operations. Dixon aims to shed light on the often-overlooked contributions of these individuals, distinguishing their efforts from the more celebrated stories of naval battles and aerial warfare. The opening of the text establishes a forward that frames the purpose of the work, criticizing how histories tend to obscure the contributions of merchant sailors and fishermen in favor of highlighting naval conflicts. It conveys a sense of pride in the tradition of British seamanship and defines the interconnectedness of naval and merchant fleets as vital components of national strength. The narrative begins by reflecting on Britain’s geographical nature as a maritime nation and emphasizes how this identity fosters a deep-rooted connection to the sea, setting the stage for a broader examination of the contributions of those who work to keep Britain's trade routes open and secure during times of war.
