In 1914, the Royal Navy faced its greatest test since the time of Nelson. Captain Bennett's history of the Great War at sea combines graphic and stirring accounts of all the principal naval engagements with analysis of the strategy and tactics of both sides. His book is illustrated with maps, plans and contemporary photographs and is an authoritative and exceptionally readable history.
