Description:PROFESSOR MARDER'S first volume, 'The Road to War', dealt with the years when Fisher prepared the Navy for the great conflict which he foresaw; with this second volume comes the time of testing. There were initial set-backs: the escape of the German ship Goeben, the defeat at Coronel — avenged in the Falklands battle — the humiliation of the Dardanelles, the submarine menace; but over all hangs the great question of strategy: how was the German High Seas Fleet to be brought to a battle in which the Royal Navy could inflict that crushing blow which all British sailors believed it capable of dealing. While the viewpoint of the admirals like Beatty and Jellicoe, and other serving officers, is not overlooked, and the principal operations are vividly outlined, all is related to the policy-making level of the Cabinet and the inner councils of the Admiralty. Besides published accounts, official and unofficial, unpublished papers from many sources have been used to make a historical narrative which is complete and authoritative, while a momentous story is skillfully told.We have made it easy for you to find a PDF Ebooks without any digging.
