Product Information
A vivid and compelling history of the Royal Navy during the First World War drawing on unique testimony from the archives of the Imperial War Museum. For the British navy the First World War was a massive learning curve as, for the first time, she went into battle with an untried weapons system, dreadnoughts, mines, submarines, aircraft and airships. Inspite of this, the navy never failed to provide the shield which enabled the British Army to play a key part in the Western Front. With great bravery the officers and ratings manned the ships, often in appalling weather, with the ever-present prospect of being blown to pieces or choking to death trapped in a compartment or turret as their ship plunged to the bottom. Based on eye-witness accounts of the action, General Julian Thompson has written a gripping history that recreates the war at sea through the experiences of those who fought, and sometimes died.Product Identifiers
