During the First World War the reputation of the British Royal Navy
was put on the line in its defence of the country, and, crucially,
it was in those years, 1914-19, that the Grand Fleet became the
single most potent weapon of war of any nation. In this
comprehensive, illustrated history, Ridley-Kitts tells of the
creation and development of the Grand Fleet under the drive of the
energetic and charismatic Admiral of the Fleet 'Jacky' Fisher, who
modernised the navy with the introduction of the revolutionary
Dreadnought battleship. This type of vessel in particular made
other nations' battleships obsolete, created a powerful weapon for
the defence of the British Empire and its trade, and finally
defeated the machinations of Kaiser William II. Using unique
illustrations rendered by the author, the story of the Grand Fleet
is told in accessible narrative style, with outstanding technical
detail that will satisfy naval enthusiasts.
