With the Call to action stations in August 1914, the Royal Navy faced its greatest test since the time of Nelson. This classic history of the Great War at sea combines graphic and stirring accounts of all the principal naval engagements - battles overseas, in home waters and, for the first time, under the sea - with analysis of the strategy and tactics of both sides. Geoffrey Bennett brings these sea battles dramatically to life, and confirms the Allied navies' vital contribution to victory. AUTHOR: Captain Geoffrey Bennett RN FRHS served in the Royal Navy from 1923 until 1955. He wrote a number of books of naval history, including Naval Battles of the Second World War (Pen and Sword 2003).
