The Battles of Coronel and the Falklands: British Naval Campaigns
in the Southern Hemisphere 1914-1915 tells the story of British
cruiser warfare and naval strategy in the Southern Atlantic in 1914
and 1915. This was the last naval campaign that was fought by
surface warships without the intrusion of modern technology such as
aircraft, submarines, mines, etc. German commerce raiders had been
at large in the southern oceans since the declaration of war on 4
August 1914 and it was imperative that British forces should hunt
and destroy them before they caused untold damage to British
trade.The campaign to bring a German squadron to battle met with
disaster (the Battle of Coronel) before final victory at the
Falklands Islands. Individual raiders like the Emden, Dresden and
Konigsburg were also hunted and destroyed in a fascinating series
of actions where bravery and courage were displayed by both sides.
