Description
Book SynopsisOn January 24, 1915, a German naval force commanded by Admiral Franz von Hipper conducted a raid on British fishing fleets in the area of the Dogger Banks. This book provides a keen analytical description of the battle and its place in the naval history of World War I.
Trade ReviewTobias Philbin has written a very entertaining and informative book on the Battle of Dogger Bank.
It will be enjoyed by a wide audience including naval historians, strategists, and those interested in
how broader long-term decision-making determines the manner in which battles are fought, won
and lost.
* The International Journal of Maritime History *
The author's research in British and German archives and knowledge of secondary sources produces a significant work on the war at sea.
* Stand-To *
In all this is an interesting and stimulating book that is a useful contribution to the history of the First World War in the North Sea.
