He worked at Bletchley Park during the WWII and wrote widely on the history of international relations and British Intelligence during the WWII. Hinsley helped initiate a programme of seizing Enigma machines and keys from German weather ships, such as the Lauenburg, thereby facilitating Bletchley Park's resumption of breaking of German Naval Enigma. Hinsley produced, with others, the multi-volume official history British Intelligence in the Second World War, and argued that Enigma decryption speeded Allied victory by 1–4 years while not altering the war's outcome.

The story is well told, especially in its clear rendering of such potentially confusing actions as Jutland and the Falkland Islands. Richard Hough is a rare combination: An excellent naval historian, as well as a master at putting naval matters in their proper political and strategic perspective. It is not surprising that he has constructed a superb account of this important era in naval warfare. The story is well told, especially in its clear rendering of such potentially confusing actions as Jutland and the Falkland Islands. Richard Hough's vivid rendering of this sea war brings each battle to life, from the initial confrontations to Germany's capitulation at the end of 1918. Hough describes the climactic 1916 Battle of Jutland, as well as major and minor battles fought in the Falklands, the North Sea, and the Dardanelles.
