Naval strategy, tactics, weapons and sea-battles of the Great War
This excellent book offers an erudite and critical analysis of sea-power during the First World War, 1914-18, from the British perspective. Naval gunnery, weapons, techniques etc. are considered in the context of the notable naval actions of the war. Each engagement study includes diagrams to demonstrate tactical manoeuvrers at sea. The engagements, which are featured chronologically, are the destruction of the ‘Koenigsberg’, the capture of the ‘Emden’, the Battle of the Falkland Islands, the Heligoland Affair, the Dogger Bank action, the largest naval engagement of the war, the Battle of Jutland, and the raids on the Continental coast, towards the end of the conflict, at Ostend and Zeebrugge. Contains numerous illustrations which were not present in the original text.
