Author: RICHARD HOUGH
Title: The Great War at Sea
Description: Birlinn Limited, 2000. Pp: 353. While the bloody stalemates of Verdun and the Somme have attracted most attention, it was the war at sea that decided the fate of the German Empire at the end of the First World War. Strangled by economic blockade, Germany in 1918 was a spent and beaten power. It was the attempts of the Central Powers to break that crippling blockade which dictated their strategy, from the U-Boat war which brought America into the conflict, through the battle of Jutland, to Ludendorff's final effort on the Western Front. But the naval war went beyond even that in terms of importance. To both Germany and Britain their fleets, at the cutting edge of technology, were a symbol of status. Driven by a great arms race, fuelled by science, the great battleships of the Grand Fleet and the High Seas Fleet represented total war in a way never before seen. ISBN: 9781841580531. Cond./Kwaliteit: Redelijk.
