Summary:
The most common image of World War I is that of the trench warfare of the Western Front. But one of the most crucial theaters of the war was on an entirely different stage: the waters of the Atlantic and the Mediterranean. The naval struggle between the British Royal Navy and the German High Seas Fleet would lead to the introduction of U-boat warfare, the entry of the United States into the war and the German Revolution of 1918. From the Battle of the Falkland Islands in 1914 to the decisive Battle of Jutland in 1916 and beyond, this volume charts one of the Great Warś most compelling stories in never-before-achieved detail, supported by over 200 amazing images of the ships, leading figures and important engagements.
