Scuttlebutt Edition 54

Volume Four, 1917: Year of Crisis addresses the change of Grand Fleet Commanders-in-Chief with Jellicoe departing to be First Sea Lord, relieved by Beatty. The latter’s strengths and weakness are discussed while Jellicoe wrestles with post-Jutland politics and the U-boat threat to which the convoy antidote was a hard fought policy decision. The genesis of naval aviation is also a feature of this volume. What Volume Four lacks in battle action narrative is compensated by the policy battles within the Admiralty and the British Government. The volume ends with the Jellicoe’s dismal removal from his post and the ructions this caused in navy, political and media circles.

Australian Naval Institute - Tim Coyle

Remains a stunning work of scholarship and naval history. Marder writes beautifully, insightfully and fairly. Should still be on the bookshelf of anyone with interest in the Royal Navy in WW1.

[An] extensive and masterly classic work of the Royal Navy in the Great War.
A prodigious work of scholarship which provides a thorough comprehensive history of naval plans, policy and naval operations throughout the war.
For any serious study of the naval side of the First World War these volumes are invaluable and most strongly recommended.

Scuttlebutt - Friends of the RN Museum

This is a valuable reference work that reads easily and will satisfy the most committed enthusiast of naval history.

The five volumes that constitute Arthur Marder's 'From the Dreadnought to Scapa Flow' represent arguably amongst the finest contributions to the literature of naval history...and are still regarded by many as the definitive history of naval events leading up to and including the First World War.
This outstanding work, which has withstood the passage of time, is a first class read and deserves to be in the library of all those interested in naval history. Highly recommended.
