Produktinformationen zu „Blockade (ePub)“
This WWI naval history vividly tells the story of the Royal Navy's Northern Blockade and the battles at sea that brought Germany to its knees.
At the outbreak of World War I, Britain established a naval blockade that greatly diminished Germany's access to trade and vital resources. The Northern Blockade brought the German economy to its knees and greatly diminished home front morale. Patrolling the inhospitable waters between Iceland and Scotland, the 10th Cruiser Squadron played a vital role in winning the war on the Western Front. At the same time, the Royal Navy successfully countered Germany's attacks on British commerce, preventing much suffering in Britain.
Drawing on numerous first-hand accounts, Historian Steve Dunn vividly chronicles this long-running battle at sea. Beginning with the blockade's initial formation, he recounts the changes in strategy on both sides, including the use of converted liners and armed merchant vessels as warships. He also vividly describes the final destruction of German surface vessel commerce warfare, culminating in the hard-fought battle between the raider SMS Leopard and two British warships.
