Naval Battles of the First World War
About this book
From a British Royal Navy officer, a detailed history of World War I's principal battles at sea.
With the call to action stations in August 1914, the Royal Navy faced its greatest test since the time of Nelson . . .
This classic history of the Great War at sea combines graphic and stirring accounts of all the principal naval engagements—battles overseas, in home waters and, for the first time, under the sea—with analysis of the strategy and tactics of both sides. Geoffrey Bennett brings these sea battles dramatically to life, and confirms the Allied navies' vital contribution to victory.
Praise for Naval Battles of the First World War
"Strongly recommended." — RUSI Journal
"Excellent balanced accounts and judgements." —Richard Hough, historian and author
"Extensive photographs, include key aspects such as the German battle cruiser Blucher at the Dogger Bank battle, the destruction of the British battle cruiser Queen Mary, as well as the German dreadnaught Bayern sinking after being scuttled at Scapa Flow. A fascinating diagram shows Battleship Turrets, which provides insight into the process of action, such as the shell room, cordage charge, magazine, to the cordite hoist and gun." —Jon Sandison, historian
