Description

Hardcover in publisher’s non price-clipped dust-jacket. 180 pages. Bibliography and Index. Illustrated with photographs and maps. First edition, first printing with full number line. An interesting extrapolation of a little studied naval encounter hours before Britain’s official entry into World War I. The military consequences of asymmetrical naval power are a well mined historical theme, and the author utilizes the subsequent British mobilization of capital ships in the Mediterranean to such affect. It is his extensive use of recently available German sources which point to significant political repercussions and ultimately war altering consequences which make a seemingly chance encounter into a significant historical event. No previous ownership marks. No remainder mark. A clean, fresh, unmarked copy. Fine in a fine dust-jacket.
