Official War History Of The Great War: Naval Operations Vol. III (1923) By Sir Julian S. Corbett
 
Up-to-date, well-researched naval histories have an important part to play in understanding past events, but I would like to suggest they are equalled by contemporary accounts written not long after the stories they describe, and often by those who took part.
 
Such near-contemporary accounts include the five volumes of NAVAL OPERATIONS, the first three by Sir Julian S Corbett and the last two by Henry Newbolt.
 
They are indispensable to any researcher or scholar of World War 1 who wants to start to understand the vastness of the war at sea and the role of the Royal Navy and its Allies.
 
The naval war, 1914-18 is almost considered peripheral to the war as a whole, especially compared with the Western Front. However, World War 1 was just as much a maritime struggle as that of World War 2. If it had been lost to either the German High Seas Fleet or the later U-boat campaign, Allied victory would have been very much in doubt. Hence the value of these volumes.
 
This book set is the Volume 3 Book and separate maps in a special box folio. This volume covers November 1914 through May 1915. The Dardanelles is heavily featured in this volume.
