BEFORE JUTLAND:THE NAVAL WAR IN NORTHERN EUROPEAN WATERS, AUGUST 1914-FEBRUARY 1916

摘要

Before Jutland is an extensive and improved revision of James Goldrick's earlier work All The King's Ships Were At Sea published by the Naval Institute Press in 1984. In his introduction, he explains that this new work evolved gradually as he had opportunities to study a number of primary source documents and the work of eminent historians. He also became aware that the way in which the ships and fleets of 1914 were operated, controlled and fought is no longer widely understood and we know more about Nelson's wooden ships than we do about Jellicoe's 'Dreadnoughts'.
