During World War I Britain and Germany tried to starve each other into submission by the use of naval blockades that caused terrible deprivation to civilian populations. This graphic new volume describes the strategy and tactics of the blockades and their importance in deciding the outcome of the war. The many elements covered include the torpedoing of the Lusitania, German plots detected by British intelligence, Q-ships, armed freighters, and air ships. The author contends that the entry of the United States into the war and the introduction of convoys were the ultimate weapons in holding the U-boat threat at bay. Based on years of research, this book will appeal to everyone with an interest in World War I and the strategic use of blockades. 224 pages. 142 photos.14 line drawings. Notes. Index. Hardcover. 8 x 10 inches.

Note the title: BLOCKADES. Plural. A lot of folks forget that the British conducted a distant blockade of Germany and the U-boat war was an attempt to do the same in reverse. The fact that the solution to the heavy losses of merchant shipping was in plain sight at all times makes the RN look just a little bit stupid. It took years to solve a problem that could have been solved in weeks. Even then, the lack of desire to try something new is a 'lesson learned' in the extreme: namely, not trying a new solution guarantees that the new solution does not work. The solution has to be doing the same thing over and over and expecting a different result. (I believe that is one definition of insanity.)

This is a must read book for any one interested in WW 1 naval warfare.

An essential book

Reviewed in the United Kingdom 🇬🇧 on September 6, 2014

This book fills a gaping hole in the history of the First World War. The book is well written and gives a balanced account that doesn't give over concentration on any one subject neither does it skim or gloss over anything. The strategies, actions and effects of the sea war are here but there is much else besides - a reference book to keep.
