Description:'It is upon the Navy under the Providence of God that the safety, honour and welfare of this realm do chiefly attend' - this has never been more strongly felt than by many British people in the period 1904-19, the era of Anglo-German naval rivalry and the ensuing Great War. The British side of this rivalry is the central theme on which the author has kept his eyes fixed, while, of course, not neglecting the many other facets of British naval history in the period. The personality of Sir John Fisher, First Sea Lord from 1904 to 1910, naturally dominates the first part of this volume, and at the end appears the figure of the 'former naval person', Winston Churchill, First Lord in 1914 as he was to be again in 1939. The story, well known in its outlines, has been filled in with fascinating detail obtained from many collections of unpublished official papers to which the author has had access. He has also made good use of the personal papers left by participants, and has had the full co-operation of the Admiralty (now Ministry of Defence), and the result is a book of first-rate importance for its factual authority. The author has also kept in mind the dictum that 'the art of telling a story is an essential qualification for writing history.'We have made it easy for you to find a PDF Ebooks without any digging.
