Castles of Steel - Britain, Germany and the Winning of the Great War at Sea by Robert Massie |
A worthy successor to his masterful Dreadnought (qv). Massie turns his attention to the unfolding story of naval warfare during WW I. Culminating in the titanic struggle that was the Battle of Jutland, the debate that followed this tactical defeat but strategic victory for Britain pays as much attention to the personal rivalry between Jellicoe and Beatty as it does to the broader conflict between the British Grand Fleet and the German High Seas Fleet.
