How the Navy Won the War: The Real Instrument of Victory 1914 1918
Year: 2018 Language: English Author: Jim Ring Genre: Historical Publisher: Seaforth Publishing Format: EPUB Quality: eBook Pages count: 197 Description: Verdun, the Somme, Tannenberg and Passchendaele. These epics of destruction and futility are such bywords for the First World War that Jutland apart we forget the role played by sea power in the war to end war. The great global conflict is too often narrowed to the fields of Flanders and the plains of Picardy. Now, award-winning biographer and naval historian Jim Ring has revisited the story to redress the balance. He emphasises how Great Britain, the great Amphibian in Churchill s words, was able to move its army anywhere in the world. The Navy s very existence deterred any attempt at invasion, and its great ships kept the German High Sea fleet at bay; lastly, the Navy gradually starved the Kaiser s nation of war materiel and food. Choosing fourteen turning-points of the war, he explores the relative contributions made by land and sea power to the eventual outcome of the conflict in 1918.
