Captain Bennett has used sources previously unavailable to historians in his reconstruction of this controversial battle, including the papers of Vice-Admiral Harper explaining why his official record of the battle was not published until 1927, and the secret "Naval Staff Appreciation" of 1922 whose criticism were so scathing that it was never issued to the Fleet. Also included are numerous battle plans, photographs and an introduction by Bennett's son. 2006 is the 90th anniversary of the battle.]]> 211435 4.09 11 3 522277 1844153002 9781844153008 0 http://photo.goodreads.com/books/1175514816m/522277.jpg http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/522277.NAVAL_BATTLES_OF_WW1 5.00 1

Captain Bennett was, for many years, a serving officer in the Royal Navy as well as being one of the most highly regarded naval historians of his time. He sets the battle in the context of the world-wide struggle against Napoleon, describes the ships, their crews and the tactics of the action. In his scholarly but immensely readable account of the battle he discusses the preparatory manoeuvres and the mechanics of naval warfare in the age of sail. He illustrates the text with many diagrams.]]> 211435 4.09 11 3 1892725 0713411643 9780713411645 0 http://www.goodreads.com/images/nocover-111x148.jpg http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/1892725.Naval_Battles_of_the_First_World_War 0.0 0 211435 4.09 11 3
